Want to do Load test of a simple Web UI test? JWebUnit is sufficient

Concurrent user scenarios very common when  you work for a  web application if it is used by multiple users across the globe.There are some challenges when you test this kind of scenarios.

If you want to do a load test for your website then you can go for any commercial tool like Telerik Test Studio, Neo load, Load runner..etc

There are some scenarios  like we need to validate a  defect(small web UI steps) which required some concurrent  users login or need to do a load test of just login UI. In these cases, you can use JWebUnit.

JWebUnit is a Java-based testing framework for web applications. It wraps existing testing frameworks such as HtmlUnit and Selenium with a unified, simple testing interface to allow you to quickly test the correctness of your web applications.

Setup:

1) Download latest version of JWebUnit jars here. One lib folder will be available.
2) Write a java program
3) All above lib folder jars to the classpath.

Sample program:

import static net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.JWebUnit.beginAt;
import static net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.JWebUnit.clickElementByXPath;
import static net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.JWebUnit.setBaseUrl;
import static net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.JWebUnit.setTextField;
import static net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.JWebUnit.submit;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Test;


public class ExecuteWebUI {

@Test
public void test() {
     setBaseUrl("http://xxxxx/router/login");
             beginAt("/login.jsp");
             setTextField("loginName", "xxxxx");
             setTextField("password", "xxxx");
             submit();
}

}

Using eclipse:

1) Create a Java Project
2) Copy above downloaded lib folder to this project
3) Add all lib folder jar to project classpath
4) Create a JUnit test case
