My end-year’s resolution is to post more frequently about more cooler stuff.
In the mean time some things that I have been working on lately:
- Been loving Jenkins as a CI tool for our ASP.Net e-commerce system at Amblique and it’s associated plugins
- Haven’t really gotten to the stage of uber customisation and it’s already proved incredibly invaluable
- Been preaching the ways of systematic, thorough, documented testing since I started at Amblique, with early results a-showing
- Only a matter of time before we go full ball to automate our testing system, most likely using Sillenium
- On the subject of testing systems been playing with and appreciating jmeter as a performance/load testing system
- Just don’t go tyring to run a full ball performance test using the java UI, or you will bring the testing machine to a grind and get some really dodgey numbers
- instead use the command line version
- make sure to only have one listener/reporter (maybe the agregate report)
- and pass in parameters like thread count (user count) and thread loops (test iterations) using the -Jproperty_name=value arguments
- Oh and don’t try and use it to performance test Ajax ui’s, JMeter uses an html-as-xml-dom inspection approach to extract and test for assertions, and so doesn’t actually remote a browser (i.e. no javascript ability).
