I’ve tried to load test a flex app with JMeter. Actually, JMeter can record the scenario but when playing it back : i have 100% errors on some of my swf :’(

do you know whether JMeter has problems handling flex app components ? or some kind of Session problems whithin Flex perhaps ?

thanks a lot …

JMeter 2.3.2 supports binary content.

But in my knowledge jmeter does not allow to accomplish seriously load tests with the protocol amf.

I’m testing a web-service done with Flex (Flex uses REST to get info such as picture URLs from a data base server and then displays the info in a browser as a web page). I was wondering would you have any advice on how to interpret the results of JMerer testing.

For a regular HTTP-page It is enough to have one sampler which loads the whole page including images etc. So all the uploads are taken in one sample. This is as it should be, thinking from users’ experienced performance point of view.

But with Flex I need to add each picture upload etc. as a separate sampler in JMeter. This gives much faster response times as I get the response times for individual picture uploads (rather than the response time for the loading of the entire web-page).

Hope I stated the problem clearly.

Any help much appreciated,
S

Although that would just solve one problem. The correlation or parametization of data inside those binary blobs might be difficult to achieve once JMeter successfully records it using the proxy. You would then have to perhaps modify the pre/post-processors to modify the data in the correct format. I’m not sure just running the regular expression extractor for example would work as intended on binary data … In other words, there’s still probably some manual work to do at the end in any case.
