Load testing Alfresco using JMeter

[poptarts]

Hi all, I've successfully load tested Alfresco using JMeter to browse various nodes and log in hundreds of users.

My question: is it possible to use JMeter to initiate a workflow? I've tried using JMeter's proxy to load test the above case, but JMeter cannot replicate the process when it involves load testing a workflow wizard.

Has anyone done workflow wizards, or any wizards using JMeter yet? Any successes? Failures?

Hi,

I am not sure anyone has tried using Jmeter with workflows yet.
I'll ask around and post back if anyone has.

Thanks Steve. JMeter seems to get confused when doing anything involving Dialogs, such as executing a Simple Workflow or even when uploading a file.

Uploading a file works sometimes in that JMeter doesn't get a 500 Server Error, but the file itself does not appear in the space.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, I'm currently building a JMeter script to Login, Upload content, Delete content, and Logout.
I'm getting a 500 http error when trying to delete a file from alfresco. I built the script based on the proxy captured requests; but it seems something is wrong or missing.

the Delete request are:

Hi,

There are some issues with your jmeter code.

1. Leave ref field empty.
2. Provide valid value for delete_file_browseid_${deleteFileBrowseID} - in your code given above ${deleteFileBrowseID} is empty.
You should extract it from the preceding request.
If you use any regular expression extractor - ensure that it work correctly.

Edgar,

What version of Alfresco are you trying to use jmeter on?

Thanks,

Steve

[edgar_torres]

Hi,
It's Alfresco version 2.2

I also have tried to re-run the jmeter proxy captured requests but still getting the error 500, something else should be missing..  =S

Regards,

[steve]

Hi Edgar,

I have emailed you a sample working script that works for what you are trying to perform, hopefully it will give you some help in getting yours working.

Regards,

Steve

[steve]

emailed.

I managed to do a junit meter simple login test : login, browse and logout.
But when I attempt to open a dialog through a request with jmeter, I have this NullPointerException quoted in this topic too.
Can you email me your script please. I need to test dialogs response time.
