Overview of this book

Test Studio is Telerik's QA solution for automating your manual testing. With Test Studio's standalone edition or Visual Studio plugin, you can rule out the possibility of unreliable test execution and UI recognition, non indicative test results and reports, dispersed test repository, low code coverage, and unaffordable learning curves. With no code, this tool provides an intuitive IDE to effortlessly create maintainable tests. If you are looking for a solution to automate testing for your web, desktop, or mobile application, you can now benefit from Test Studio's rich automation features. "Learning Software Testing with Test Studio" will illustrate how to reliably automate test cases when it is time to relinquish manual testing habits. This book is all about less theory and more hands-on examples to present a complete manual and automated solution for your ASP .NET, WPF, Silverlight or iOS apps. This book gets you started directly with automation in Test Studio by exploiting its recording powers through series of concrete test cases built around the equipped applications. Each chapter starts with a typical automation problem which is then approached using Test Studio specialized automation features. You will learn how to create record and playback functional, performance, and load tests. Furthermore, we will see how to insert verification steps, logical constructs, convenient logging operations, and how to convert test scripts in order to implement keyword and data-driven architectures. To endow your tests with additional flexibility, each recorded automation feature will be approached from its coded perspective through the usage of the underlying ArtOfTest Test Studio automation library. This book also illustrates how Test Studio can automate pre-conditions, test result inputting, and the capturing of system states during manual test case execution in order to keep the tester's attention focused on the important details.

Chapter 7. Performance Testing

So far the discussions about the nonfunctional specifications have been dormant during testing progress meetings. On the other hand, the development of the system components is still going on and these components have reached a stable state along with the automated test scripts. Consequently, at this point, the automation vision can be enlarged, and of course what follows is a meeting to discuss the action plans, such as:

  • How are the developed components performing?

  • Are there any improvement key points to be targeted?

  • What are the hardware and network capacity requirements?

  • What are the numbers around resource utilization?

Obviously, you were expecting to hear about performance testing. So where do you start and how do you execute this in Test Studio?

This chapter takes you through a step-by-step performance plan for a web application, and it demonstrates the following activities:

  1. Configuring Test Studio for performance testing

  2. Creating web application tests

  3. Assigning...
