Hi there

I've created a test using VBScript to automate the insertion of 1,000
records to the database. The test runs fine and it does insert correctly all
the records, and gives me some results.

The question is, when I set to 10 simultaneos browsers connections, 1
iteration and 1000 simultaneous browsers connections and 1 iteration it
gives me the same result for both!!! Do you know why this happens?

I also have noted that I'm getting a lot of 302 error (97%), but when I
check on the database, the records are really inserted...

Any comments?

I am guessing the reason ACT is behaving like this is that it is not able
to open the 1000 simultaneous browser connections, b/c the machine it is on
is running out of resources before you can get to 1000 SBCs.

Run the test, while looking at PerfMon output for the CPU utilization on
the machine... If the CPU utilization on the ACT client machine is anywhere
above 80-85%, this is likely the cause.  Are you getting socket errors?  I
am guessing you are.

HTTP 302 responses are not errors. They are a response code from the server
which indicates an HTTP redirection took place in your site... this is a
normal response from a web server when a redirection is taking place.

HTTP errors are >= 400

I think:
4xx errors are client errors
5xx are server errors


Does this answer your question?  Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroups!

Hi there

I found the problem, well it was the machine itself. Now I have this
problem, how do you tell if a webapp is behaving correctly?

I mean, if I have 80 or 120 RPS, between tests, what I understand is that
the Server can handle 80 to 120 RPS right? or is ACT that is sending only 80
to 120 RPS?

What if one of my tests with one user gives me 1 RPS ?

:S I'm kinda lost ....

Anyway, I've created a script to insert information on the database from a
CSV file. What I found is, that an 1 iteration is for 1 user. If I put 100
users, I must use 100 iterations, right?

I'll post the test for you to check them out!

Thanks

Chris,

You need to set the number of iterations equal to or greater than the number
 of connections.  The settings are ambiguous, I know. 

Here's how it works: If you sent the number of connections to 1 and the numb
er of iterations to 1, you'll get 1 iteration of the script. If you set the 
number of iterations to 10 and connections to 1, you'll get 10 iterations of
 the script, requested serially. If you set the number of iterations to 10 a
nd connections to 10, you'll get 10 iterations, requested in parallel. 

To confirm the results, look at the number of total iterations in the result
s report and look at the number of requests for a particular page.

Good luck!

Mary
