I have a thread group with register page.
Iam try to do concurrent unique users registrations as much as my website can handle.
Till now I have recoded script for single user for registering and parameterizing with different unique users data manually in csv file and replacing in recorded script. But it is difficult to modify for huge no of users while registering.
Is there any simple way to do this?
If you are testing registration process you don't need a pre-defined data set as you are creating users "on-the-fly". Therefore you can use random data instead of pre-defined, for example
if you need an email you can generate one using __RandomString() function like:
${__RandomString(15,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)}#example.com
if you need a random date (for example of birth) you can use __RandomDate() function like:
${__RandomDate(,1950-01-01,2018-01-01,,)}
if you need a random number - go for __Random() function
${__Random(0,9999999,)}
if you need a totally unique identifier - use __UUID() function
${__UUID}
you can get current timestamp in different formats with __time() function
${__time(EEEE\, dd MMMM yyyy hh:mm:ss a,)}
Demo of above functions:

Our Dashboard have dropdown which consist of more than 8k products and we have such 4-5 dropdowns.
I want to filter data based on this dropdowns.
But if I selecting all products then restful api url is breaking.
Can i use azure bus service or similar message broker service to pass this complex and multiple parameters via service and which then consumed by all apis??
While I do understand what your need is I will suggest to re-think your approach as that will lead to a better user experience.
I will use a first drop down, completely empty, that will fill in options while the user types in whatever product list you have, that way, there is only a group of items that are filled in that the user is interested in.
I will also suggest not to load anything on that drop down until the user has entered, let's say, 5 characters.
After that let the user select an item from the dropdown, and filter the second drop down and continue to use the same technique with all drop downs you have.
Let me know if you have any questions around this approach and I will be more than happy to provide an example if you don't know how to do it.
Edit:
Including samples for load dropdown lists dynamically and also another post with an example on how to return some JSON from an Azure Function that can return the data in a dynamic way like you need.
From what I can see I think it'll be helpful for you to go through several different examples that can bring you progressive knowledge to what you need to achieve, first of all it'll be nice if you know how to load items dynamically on a dropdown list:
That is a nice example, you can have an entry where the user can type
whatever products you have and then they type, lets say, more than 5
characters go and search for that data.

This other example shows you how to return data from an azure function
with the data that you need to show the users. This is not exactly
what you need as you need to receive a parameter with what the user
typed and search in your database for the items that match that search
and return that data in a JSON format so you can use it on your web
page to show the dropdown list. I will suggest to initially hard code
a few items and return those to check that the functionality is there
and once you have that up and running move to get the actual data from
the database.
How to return a JSON object from an Azure Function with Node.js
I am automating Sharepoint list testing, filling up some field with values,
and like to save data I supplied to the field after.
Is there a way to automate saving the field value in a excel or csv?
In order to keep it simple, I would create two recordings and write to a text file (csv).
The first one would get the text values from the desired fields and return them in bound variables using Ranorex GetValue action.
The second recording would write the content of the bound variables to a text file, separating fields with ',' (or any other character that is suitable for the kind of data that is present in the fields) in a user code function.
If you have no idea how to write to a file in .NET, take a look at System.IO.File.AppendAllLines or similar functions.
You could also combine the 2 recordings in one, but then, re-useability would be limited the scope of the SharePoint page you are testing.
Do not forget that since Ranorex is using the .NET framework, you have access to all the functions provided by the framework in user code. With Ranorex, the usual question is not ask if something is possible. The real question is "how can it be done" and is the solution simple enough for testers to be able to use it!
Hope this helps!
I am using the test plugin for VS 2012 (although have just installed 2013), and need to know:
Is it possible to have a parameter pass a different value from a selected list while load testing?
I have used the sample load test located here: http://www.visualstudio.com/get-started/load-test-your-app-vs and created a new web test that meets my needs as below.
I have a simple journey recorded that is an email registration web page. The journey is essentially completing name & address, email, conf email, password, conf password. On submission of the form, a verification email is sent.
I need to check that this process can handle around 3000 users. The email to actually send the verification has been hardcoded for test purposes, but I need a unique email to submit the form. I would essentially like to run 3000 test cases through, and just change the email address each time.
What is the best way to do this?
The simple answer is do a web search for data driving (or data driven) Visual Studio web performance tests. You should find many articles and tutorials.
In more detail:
Outline of how to data drive a test
Firstly, Visual Studio distinguishes different types of test. A Load Test is a way of running individual test cases many times, as if by many simultaneous users, gathering data about the test executions and producing a report. The test cases that a load test can execute include Web Performance Tests and Coded UI Tests; both of these can be data driven.
Data driving a Web Performance Test requires a data source. The data can be CSV, XML, Spreadsheet, database and in TFS. I will describe using CSV.
Create a CSV file, containing something similar to the following. Note that the top line of field names is required and those names are used within the test.
Name,Email,Telephone
Fred,fred#example.com,0123 456789
George,george#example.com,0123 456790
Harry,harry#example.com,0123 456791
See also CodedUI test does not read data from CSV input file for some notes CSV file creation.
Open the test project in Visual Studio and open the .webtest file for the test. Use the context (right-click) menu of the top node of the test, ie the test's name (or use the corresponding icon) and select "Add data source ...". Follow the prompts to add the CSV file into the project.
Within the Web Performance Test expand the request to show the form parameters or query string or whatever that is to use the data. View the properties panel of the relevant field and select the appropriate property, in many cases it is the Value property. Click the little triangle for choosing a value for the property. The popup should show the data source, expand the items shown and select the required field. After selecting the field the property will show a value such as {{DataSource1.FileName#csv.Email}}. The doubled curly braces ({{ and }}) indicate the use of a context parameter. All the used data source fields are available as context parameters. All of the data source fields can be made available by altering the Select Columns property of the data source file. Data source field can be used as part of a property value by using values such as
SomeText{{DataSource1.FileName#csv.Email}}AndMoreText
Data source access methods
The data from the datasource can be read and used in four ways. The default is Sequential. Other orders are selected using Solution Explorer to access the properties of the file (eg FileName#csv). The Access Method property can be set to one of:
Sequential data is read sequentially through the file. After the last line of the file is read, the first line of the file will be next line to be read. Thus each line may be read more than once.
Random data is read randomly.
Unique data is read sequentially through the file. After the end of the file is read the test will not be executed again. Thus each line in can only be read once.
Do not move cursor automatically intended for more complex tests where the cursor is moved via calls from plugins.
A web test may use more than one data source file. These files may have different access methods. For example one file containing login names and passwords could be accessed Sequentially and another file with other data could be accessed Randomly. This would allow each login to try many different sets of the other data.
Data sources and loops
Web performance tests may contain loops. The properties of a loop include Advance data cursors. This allows, for example, a data source file to contain items to be found and added to a shopping basket such that each loop iteration adds a new item.
We use a construction software, Viewpoint. We need a report to print the GL Accounts associated only with the user running the report. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could easily and efficiently achieve this? My "last-resort alternative" is just creating separate reports for each GL that pulls only that GL's info.
It depends on how the accounts are associated to the user. If there is a link, you can simply create a user parameter that asks for the user name. Then in the record select of the report you only pull accounts that match the user name in the parameter.
So, for example your parameter is called {?userName}. In the Record Select the formula would something like {Accounts.Salesman} = {?userName}, where {Accounts.Salesman} would be the field that links the user with the account.
You can get the current user name and use it to filter the records in your report. There are 2 ways to do this :
create a parameter, hide it and automatically fill the value. You
will need a special viewer for this scenario. Let me know if this is
what would you prefer I can give you some links. If you leave the
parameter visible the user can insert any value and view any records
use an UFL . For example this one:
http://www.viksoe.dk/code/u2lwin32.htm provides a function LoginName
which will return currently logged user. There are other UFLs which
support similar functionality, check if your company is already
using something . This one is free. You need to register the UFL on
each system which will run the report . Once registered the
available functions will become available for formulas.
I personally prefer the viewer solution because it is more flexible and will cover other scenarios too. However if you need just the username UFL will be a better approach.
I am using load runner 9.5. I am facing a problem during Dyanmic data handling. Scenario is given below-
I have Library management application. Login-> Select book(data display based on User credential) -->Purchage and Logout.
Ex: Guest user: 50 Books display to choose
Admin : All Books display choose
Normal user : 100 Bokks display choose
Please help me How to handle these type of dynamic data based on user role. Is there need to create different script with different role ?
Please follow the below steps -
Record the same flow with the same user credential 2 times (Replica of first script)
Compare the scripts using W diff
Find the values which are different like purchase order, timestamp and user session.
Correlate the values which are highlighted in yellow means value which is different in each script.
