Workbench : Let's drop it ?

Hello,
Workbench element is confusing for beginners who don't understand
clearly its use.

Thinking more about it, I don't see today why we should still keep it.

The only advantage of this element is Non Test Elements which would
be made available from Test Plan directly.
When running a test those element would not impact test plan.

The only issue is backward compatibility, should we try to move elements in

workbench under test plan or just mention a backward incompatibility.

Users would manually move there elements to Test Plan.

Regards

I agree.

It's confusing/distracting for new users and I've never seen anyone use it
(on purpose).

It would be best if we had usage data but I'm sure there will be an
outpouring of complaints if this is a well used feature.

I'm always in favour of removing seldom used features/code it often helps
improve the quality of what remains and makes it easier for people to get
started.

Thanks

Graham

Hello,
PR merged this evening, I am happy with the change as I feel we removed a
lot of weird conditional codes.

Good by Workbench ! We won't miss you :-)

Thanks for the PR, merged with little modifications to avoid meaning less
popup menus.

I feel we should find a better name to "Non Test Elements":

   - it's negative
   - it's meaningless, it says what they are not, but not what they are

Proposals:

   - Test Building Elements
   - Debug Elements


Regards

Philippe M.

Re: Workbench : Let's drop it ?

I use the workbench for recording.
I propose to add recording information to documentation about workbench.
I propose to rename workbench to "temporary elements"

I only use the workbench for the recorder and the mirror server. If I can
place them somewhere else, I personally would be fine with removal of
workbench.

But I understand sebb's concerns.

So it is a weak +1 from me.

I only use the workbench for the recorder and the mirror server. If I can place them somewhere else, I personally would be fine with removal of workbench. 

But I understand sebb's concerns.

So it is a weak +1 from me.

Re: Validate Functionality

Posted by Graham Russell <gr...@ham1.co.uk>.
This is a very quick mock-up but hopefully this helps explain what I
am thinking:
https://www.fluidui.com/editor/live/preview/cF9YVTlxS0JUU3ZCbHdVTjl1WDQ0QlpUNzhVdXhyNm5UNA==

Click the person with a green tick icon at the top which will 'load' a
new (modified) view results tree, then you can edit the params and
rerun the thread group in the new window.

Let me know if it makes sense.

Thanks

Graham

Hello Graham,
Your proposals are interesting but it maybe be useful to create some
mock-up (modifiable/sharable) if possible.

I think we could by the way enhance the Run experience in GUI, an idea:

   - Be able to have something like Eclipse "Run Configuration" to
   configure user defined properties without having to restart , see
   https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61755

Re: Validate Functionality

Posted by Graham Russell <gr...@ham1.co.uk>.
I will list the user steps to see if that is clearer:

1. User right clicks on thread group (or has one selected, or any sub-part,
and clicks "validate user" button)
2. A new window appears containing a View Results Tree with the name
"<thread group> - Validate User" and the user can watch the thread run -
this window also displays the properties such as # of threads, iterations,
pause enabled/disabled.
3. As items are clicked in validate view results tree the corresponding
item in the main window is selected.

This can be further refined but this should make the validate feature far
more intuitive, efficient and useful.

A potentially simpler, but slightly less efficient UX, #2:Existing View
Results Tree is selected, or add to the Test Plan and then select.

Does that make sense? If not I can do a mock-up.

Thanks

Graham

Validate Functionality

Posted by Graham Russell <gr...@ham1.co.uk>.
I thought I'd start a new thread as not to derail the Workbench one.

You understood correctly, the validate function was a much needed addition
to JMeter, it currently needs more importance in the UI. I think it could
be vastly improved with a button on the top row and by auto adding, and
switching to, the results tree view once pressed. Or perhaps use a
separate/temp tree view that's not attached to the test plan but lives in a
separate window?

Thoughts?

Except for the manually added View Results Tree, the feature you're looking
for already exists:

1. Right click on Thread Group:
1. Validate : Runs by default 1 thread (configurable), 1 iteration
(configurable), No pauses (configurable)
2. Start No Pause
3. Start

Did I misunderstand ?

Except for the manually added View Results Tree, the feature you're looking
for already exists:

   1. Right click on Thread Group:
      1. Validate : Runs by default 1 thread (configurable), 1 iteration
      (configurable), No pauses (configurable)
      2. Start No Pause
      3. Start

Re: Workbench : Let's drop it ?

Posted by Graham Russell <gr...@ham1.co.uk>.

I think dropping it will simplify the code and the UX in the most efficient
way, especially as time is always short for contributors.

It seems generally confusing and not especially useful:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44746278/why-workbench-is-shown-as-default-in-jmeter
http://blog.sourcepole.ch/2011/01/04/the-jmeter-workbench-a-trapdoor-for-the-newbie/

From the docs: "The WorkBench simply provides a place to temporarily store
test elements while not in use, for copy/paste purposes, or any other
purpose you desire."

This can be replicated (as Andrey said) in the test plan by a separate
tread group and just disabling or deleting it before running a test, this
is less likely to confuse and for people to lose work.

I think to improve the UX would be to enable running of individual thread
groups, single threaded with a tree results view (that you don't have to
manually add).
This would be far more intuitive and better align to a usual load test
workflow but far more work and maybe something I should raise a bugzilla on?

Thanks

Graham

Re: Workbench : Let's drop it ?

Posted by Philippe Mouawad <ph...@gmail.com>.
If we look at consensus, we have:

   - 3 (+1) to remove it (Maxime, Antonio and me) with favor to move the
   elements inside Test plan as disabled (so backward compat). If we have a PR
   or patch that does that, I'll merge it after testing as much as possible.
   - 1 (-1) or (0) for sebb, do you agree sebb ? what would be your exact
   position ?


@Felix, @Milamber, @Vladimir,@Graham, @Mikhail , any thoughts on this ?

I don't see any point for Workbench to exist. Simply disabling elements
in-place makes them temporary stored anywhere in test plan.

Do we have a decision to remote it or not? I don't want to spend
resources if we don't have consensus.

Re: Workbench : Let's drop it ?

Posted by Philippe Mouawad <ph...@gmail.com>.
As you say, it’s oddity.
A tool should be intuitive, this part is not, we cannot always say, rtfm.
You know that lot of people don’t read docs.

Let’s try and see if it is that complex.

We shouldn’t say , we cannot touch, JMeter is not legacy, so we touch ,
break then fix .

That would involve a lot of testing to ensure nothing broke.

Are you sure it's worth it?

There have been other instances where what seems to be a minor change
turns out to be far more intrusive than first expected.
Dropping Workbench seems like such a case to me; it's been part of
JMeter for so long that there are bound to be lots of places that
assume it is present.

I agree that the Workbench is a bit of an oddity, but I think removing
it is going to prove much more of a headache than improving the
documentation to explain it better.
And potentially find more uses for it.

Hello,

If we dropped WorkBench, in which element we can add Non-Test Elements
(HTTP Mirror Server, HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, Property Display)?
Can we add these Non-Test Elements to Test Plan (root) or Test Fragment?

Thanks
