Load Testing Problem

[DANNY]

Hi,

I am testing an on a web application which Create a Purchase Order. I have successfully recorded a test which login, adds some value to the Purchase Order, complete the Purchase Order and logout.

I can re-run that test perfectly.  The browser spins up and I see the various steps occur and then I see the new order under Purchase Order

I have now used that test for a Load Test but I am not getting what I expected, and I think perhaps what I need and what's being provided are not the same.  I need to simulate 10 concurrent users processing that Purchase Order. I need that test run in 10 separate threads in one go.  What I get though is no browsers popping up and no new sales being created in the database.

There is no indication of failure, but nothing seems to be "happening"

So, can someone explain if what I expect of Load Test and what it does are actually not the same?  I would have expected 10 new Purchase Order in the database, but what I get instead is nothing.  The "steps" appear to have been reduced to a series of HTTP requests of traffic.

Please help

Kind regards,
Shawn

Hello Danny,

To create a reliable load test you need to design it properly and set the dynamic targets accordingly. If you want to simulate unique users/sessions you need to data bind your load test. Please review the shared information and let me know if any further advice will be required. 

Thank you!
