Thread: Calculate web page performance

Hi,

At present i am in manual testing,
I want to do the performance testing for my web pages.

Is any possibilities there to calculate the web page performance-
with out using the automated tools and scripts.

actually my web project is in java and jsf.

Plz help me to do the performance testing

Thx

Punitha.

Hi,

You can do performance testing without the use of automation tools also but due to increasing the efficiency of the performance automation tools play a vital role.

If you test the performance of the web page for its speed, the automation tool will automatically introduce virtual users to access the page and calculate the load of the page. In this way it is possible to introduce 'n' number of users to test the load. In case of manual testing, even if you increase the load of the system it will be very hard to match the automated script.

Hi sridhar,

Thanks for ur replay,

Is there any tool for test the application performance.
with out using manual users i have to test,
But i am not using the automated test ie i dont have automated script.

Somebody's tells some tools are helping for these type of testings . plz tell me if u know any tools for this case.

Thx.

You can first of all try so called "profilers"
like the ones integrated in Netbeans and Eclipse,
it is good to start from those to know which classes
take too much memory or which script takes much
time to generate,

also it depends on which of the servers You are using,
it one of those called compatible with J2EE,
You can set the option to compile jsp pages to java
during uploading whole application to server
which will increase performance

Hi..Use Jmeter :-)

If I am not mistaken, "Perfmon" the defauly performance monitoring tool is available with the windows OS. USing this you can add different counters like CPU time, Memory related counters, page hits per second etc. This becomes handy if you do not wish to or have reservations for use of automation tools for performance monitoring or testing.

Hi jainbrijesh..

As you said "For real performance testing you need automation tool, still i am going to tell you an easy way to test the performance of your web pages using mozilla firefox add-ons."

I just want to know... Is it applicable to asp.net with csharp or crm

Thanks

You can see only page size, page load time etc using add-on. But if you want some good results, you need to use performance testing tool like loadrunner, webload etc.

Thanks.

Hi Punitha,

What is it you want to test here "calculate the web page performance". What is it that you wanted to calculated? Can you be little more precise?

Hi
I am using Jmeter as the performance testing tool and I found it more efficient in doing performance testing. the benefits I got from this tool :
It is an open source[As money matters]
It allows me to add Users as manu as I want with Ramp up time and loop facility
It allows me to calculate save and read various factors that we need for performance testing[Ex:Response time etc]
It allows me assertion as per your need.
It allows automation tool using scripting language and it is a cross browser .

I am a New user of this tool . Please correct If I am wrong at any point.

Hi,

Manual operating is just like accessing web site using a single client.
If you have virtual servers then you can able to do performance testing, but it will not be so effective and you may need more people to do it. I would say when there are lots of automated softwares available then why go manual?
