Web 2.0
Is anyone using Jmeter to test a web application that uses Web 2.0 capability and specifically one that uses DoJo.
I have dealt with applications that make use of javascript before and do this by simulating what the javascript does in Jmeter.
Now, with these heavily scripted applications, the job appears that it will be more difficult as the amount of javascript executed is very large.
I realize that recording is one option, but have found that this does not work in alot of cases, because of the dynamic nature of the javascript.

ajax is just an http request, sent by the javascript, hence record a
script from the browser, and you should get what you need. Our whole
app is built around this.

Our javascript code does work on the server (AJAX), and the site
behaves differently on clients without javascript support. Since 90%+
of our visitors have javascript turned on, I need to do load testing
that way.
Testing the client javascript performance is a separate issue. :-)

Re: Web 2.0

absolutely, but you'd also have the work of making sure that the
javascript worked inside the test tool as well as all the supported
browsers. For my tests, I find it easiest to restrict the http
requests to the minimum needed for for a particular test, so its
easier to understand what is happening.
I havent tried doing this yet, but Im intending to create a functional
script using Watir or Firewatir to do what I care about in my oad
tests, and record based on the execution of the watir script. This way
I always get the latest urls, data formats etc. Id still have the same
editing of the jmeter script to do, but I would easily create my base
jmeter script. Since I also use firewatir/watir for functional testing
I already have most of the scripts I need.

well, youd record the script to see what the browser is sending for
the specified single user action. Then modify the jmeter recording to
put the changing data ( be it the users id, email address, book
purchase, phone number etc) into some form of variable. Since for
load on the server you can probably do enough of the logic in the
jmeter script to find out how well the server copes.

Re: Web 2.0

Paul,
you are missing the point that when more logic is handled on the client
side, a session recording may just be wrong. Just imagine a client side
logic to determine which page to load next based on the number of
currently logged in clients. Load testing with the recorded session may
be interesting, but it doesn't simulate the load that real users may
produce.
Additionally recording is a very bad solution in term of maintainability.
Cheers,
Marc.

I see jmeter as a way to exercise the server. So even if your app is
heavily javascript, if you are using jmeter, then arent you only
interested in the server side aspects? So just record a session, and
those requests will be the server load based on the javascript usage.
Thats what Ive done for the app I work on , and its very heavy
javascript. I can see Im doing the right thing, as the server logs
from the load test, are the same as what I would expect from a user in
a browser. Or am I missing something?

Having built-in Javascript support (and HTTPS proxy capture a la
PureTest) would be a godsend for us. I'm working on doing some load
testing of our web app, but it makes heavy use of HTTPS and
Javascript. So far it is proving very hard to make the JMeter load
match the "real world" activity.

I'm surely biased on this as I'm lead developer of HtmlUnit but I really
think that a combination of JMeter & HtmlUnit (or WebTest) would bring
great possibilities in load testing of Ajax applications.
HtmlUnit "is" a browser that evaluates the JS (nearly) like normal
browsers do. But it is so lightweight that it is possible to run a few
hundreds instances of WebClient (the "browser") in parallel on a normal
computer.
I don't know what the current status is with Dojo support, but complex
Ajax libraries are already supported by HtmlUnit and other will come.
Cheers,
Marc.
