Search view added for Load Tester 3.6
As web applications become more sophisticated, configuration of testcases used to test the application becomes more difficult. The need for customization, beyond the automatic configuration provided in Load Tester, means that testers need to spend more time understanding the application. One common scenario finds the tester searching through the application pages to determine where a field is assigned, in order to configure a custom extractor to get the value dynamically. Several of the features added in Load Tester 3.6 makes this process much easier.
In the example below, the Search View is used to find a field with dropUsers in the name. The Search view quickly identifies all related matches:

When his dad brought home a Commodore PET computer, Chris was drawn into computers. 7 years later, after finishing his degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering at Purdue University, he found himself writing software for industrial control systems. His first foray into testing software resulted in an innovative control system for testing lubricants in automotive engines. The Internet grabbed his attention and he became one of the first Sun Certified Java Developers. His focus then locked on performance testing of websites. As Chief Engineer for Web Performance since 2001, Chris now spends his time turning real-world testing challenges into new features for the Load Tester product.
