Apache JMeter book is published




There are no much books available on test automation and tools. In order to fill the void in the software testing bibliography, Emily H. Halili decided to put together the basic concepts of test automation and performance testing with JMeter.
This book was designed to pave the path for readers to get detailed insight on JMeter as well as a basic reference guide. I was the technical reviewer of this book. It consists of 140 pages and 8 chapters, starts with a short introductory chapter on advantages of test automation and requirements of automated tests.
Chapter 2 focuses on an overview of JMeter followed by setting up environment and installation.
Chapter 4, The Test Plan shows you all the parts of JMeter test plan. It explains all elements of test plan and how they interact together.
Use of Jmeter in load/performance testing is demonstrated in chapter 5. In chapter 6, you will get information on the tools in JMeter that support functional or regression testing.
Chapter 7 and 8 describe some advanced topics such as database servers, using regular expressions etc..

One of the many beuties of JMeter is that you don't need to have prior programming skills to use it, making JMeter one of the most popular open source testing tools in the testing community.
This book will definitely help testers as well as programmers, project managers to get better understainding on JMeter.
The book is an easy read and you should be able to complete most of the demos within very short time. I'm proud to be the reviewer of this book and I'd recommend this as a must-have item in book shelves of any QA/test engineer.

WSO2 Stratos - Introducing WSO2 middleware Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Image
Yesterday we released our newest integrated cloud middleware platform, WSO2 Stratos . It is now online and ready for use! For the past few years, WSO2 has been doing many releases based on revolutionary Carbon platform , which helped to consistently improve the platform with introducing latest state-of-art technologies. The initial releases of Carbon product platform intended to improve the features of the individual products. For example, a lot of core features were introduced to WSO2 ESB, WSAS, Governance Registry etc.. Then we focused on ease of integration and more component based model. We introduced Equinox based provisioning model to build your SOA platform by picking and choosing the components as and when you need. Then, the core product platform has been enhanced to support multi-tenancy. With the multi-tenant supported architecture at hand, our brilliant development team was able to introduce the first ever comprehensive middleware PaaS. Why is this so important? Now, WSO2 C...

Common mistakes to avoid in WSO2 ESB - 1 - "org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL"

In the next few weeks, you could expect a series of blog posts from me which explain the remedies to avoid some common mistakes which we do when working with WSO2 ESB . This is the first of many. During the initial rounds of testing your integration solution or even in production systems, you may have come across the following error. org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The system cannot infer the transport information from the URL .... Some of you may have struggled hours figuring out a solution to address this issue. Let me explain this error in detail and possible causes of this. So, next time when you see this error in your WSO2 ESB setup, you will not have to spend time unnecessarily googling everywhere. There can be many different causes of this error. I have observed  four main reasons. Cause 1 This is the simplest cause. Suppose, you have a proxy service similar to the following. <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="MistakesTest...

Working with HTTP multipart requests in soapUI

Image
You can use HTTP request test step in soapUI to submit messages with various Content-Types.  In this post, we will have a quick look into the multipart/form-data requests in soapUI. multipart/form-data requests usually come into action when you do HTML form submissions with file attachments. For example, have a look at the following HTML form post. <form action="http://localhost:8090/CKFileUploadApp/UploadServlet" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="file"> <input type="text" name="paramName"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Upload File"> </form> In the forms like above, we have file upload option as a form input where we can upload a file along with the form submission. In that case, the request's HTTP content type will be multipart/form-data. How can we simulate such a request using soapUI...
