Silverlight load testing with compression

Unregistered User Posts: 514 4/19/2017	Unregistered User Posts: 514 I am using StreStimulus for performance testing of Silverlight web application. When we recorded our scripts, HTTP Compression of Dynamic Content on Web Server was disabled. Now we have enabled HTTP Compression of Dynamic Content on Web Server (http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/httpcompression). I am using already recorded scripts for the test. After the run I don’t see any change in average request and response body size of http request. Do I need to re-record scripts after I enabled HTTP Compression of Dynamic Content on Web Server?

Try to re-record to see if it will make any difference respecting response sizes. Do you check the response sizes in the StresStimulus report or do you look at the content length in the session inspector? Session inspector will typically decompress the response before displaying, so the content length may be incorrect.
