10/8/2020 Topic: Vus reduced during execution error George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Vus reduced during execution error It sounds like you have a test case with the Action on error or timeout property set to “Abort iteration”, as shown below. When an error occurs, then during execution, the VU stops the current iteration and starts a new one. However, if the error happened on the last iteration, then the VU does not start a new iteration and completes execution. As a result, the user count decrements accordingly.

10/8/2020 Topic: Vus reduced during execution error Unregistered User Posts: 376	Unregistered User Posts: 376 Topic: Vus reduced during execution error We have used Stop Iteration if error occurred. We are getting error in load test. But as per my understanding user count should not reduce before the mentioned time duration of test

10/7/2020 Topic: Command line execution results George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Command line execution results When the test is over, the command-line returns an exit code: 0 means pass; 1 means fail, as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc51/Command+line+interface+for+Standalone+version An external report is created in a location specified in the /report flag. At that point, you can parse the report or query the database. You ca also configure sending automatic emails with the test report after the test is complete.

10/6/2020 Topic: Dynatrace settings quetion George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Dynatrace settings quetion To enable Dynatrace integration in Advanced Options set the Enable dynatrace integration to Yes. Once you do that, StresStimulus should add an HTTP request header called “x-dynaTrace” which has all the dynatrace information To see this header, run Verify and double click on any green check mark. You will see a compare view of recorded and replayed requests. The dynatrace header should be on the right.

10/6/2020 Topic: filtering the response times by Load agent George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: filtering the response times by Load agent You can export data from the test Activity diagram to .csv as described http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc52/VU+Activity+View and from each transaction activity diagram as described http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc52/VU-Activity+View. Once you export, you can open the .csv file in Excel and filter the data by the Agent column. From here, you can get all the iteration times of each VU in that load agent and do the desired calculations in Excel. In addition, each load agent generates its own local report that is described http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc52/Opening+Agent+SQL+CE+file

10/6/2020 Topic: filtering the response times by Load agent Unregistered User Posts: 376	Unregistered User Posts: 376 Topic: filtering the response times by Load agent How to filter the response times by specific Load agent/generator, by default it’s cumulative of all load generators, and we have load generators in different geo locations (US east, Asia, Europe) and want to filter it.

10/6/2020 Topic: Dynatrace settings quetion Unregistered User Posts: 376	Unregistered User Posts: 376 Topic: Dynatrace settings quetion I ran a load test with Dynatrace integration turned to Yes.. But apparently we don't see these http-headers variables PC - A Page or transaction name * ID - A session number in the test case * NA - The path and query of the request * AN - An Agent name * SN - A test case name * TE - A test name * VU - A virtual user number * SI - "StresStimulus", the issuer of the request

10/5/2020 Topic: Create activity task in CRM365 George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Create activity task in CRM365 StresStimulus virtual users handle application session similarly to the physical browser. Typically, a session opens on login and closes on logout. So if you record a scenario that starts with login and ends with logout, then on iteration completion, the session will close. If an application does not require password authentication and uses cookie authentication instead, you can use an option to clear cookie in the StresStimulus script.

10/5/2020 Topic: Create activity task in CRM365 Unregistered User Posts: 376	Unregistered User Posts: 376 Topic: Create activity task in CRM365 Is it possible to close and reopen the session for each iteration for a single VU ?

You can create in AD 50 additional test users with the same password and enter their credentials into StresStimulus?

9/29/2020 Topic: Do we need a license on load agent? George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Do we need a license on load agent? You do not need to activate the license on the Load Agent machine. Here are the steps to add load agent: Install StresStimulus Load Testing Tool on the Load Agent computer. The same installation steps as you did for installing on the controller computer. Open StresStimulus on the Load Agent computer. In the main menu go to Edit > Agent Options and enable Agent Mode as described http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc52/Configuring+Agent To attach the Load Agent to a test controller computer follow the steps described http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc52/Attaching+Agents+to+Controller

George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336	George @StresStimulus Administrator Posts: 336 Topic: Message "Another program is currently using this.. Some program on your computer is locking StresStimulus installer. It is not a StresStimulus issue, but rather your machine software configuration issue. It is likely caused by antivirus or other security software. Try to disable it or "white list" the StresStimulus installer. To determine which program is locking StresStimulus installer you can download a tool called ProcessExplorer from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer and follow the steps described https://helpcenter.gsx.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015880627-How-to-Identify-which-Windows-Process-is-Locking-a-File-or-Folder Or contact your network administrator.
