Feature Request for ANTS Load

gotdablues

I am not sure where the appropriate place is to submit feature requests so I'll do it here.

1. Can you add the ability to run a test X times. Where X is a number.

Ex: A steady test with 5 virtual users is set to run the 1 time. The test will run once for each of the virtual users.

2. In the Reports Section for 'Performance counter information', can you place a line in the Data graph for the Average.

3. Can you add more flexibility to the 'Type Of Test' Spike option. I would like to have the ability to have random Spike Heights.

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the suggestions. We will be looking at throwing a bit of our collective weight behind a new version of ANTS Load over the next few months.

In the meantime, I can tell you how to create a script that will only run for a specified number of iterations. The idea is that you create a new class with a static property that keeps track of how many times the script had been run:

Imports System
Imports RedGate.Ants.Engine

Public Class tracker
    Public Shared lIterations As Long = 0

    Public Shared Property Iterations() As Long
        Get
            Return lIterations
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Long)
            lIterations = value
        End Set

    End Property
End Class

Then change the script so that it will not do anything if you've exceeded the maximum number:

If tracker.Iterations < 6 Then
            tracker.Iterations=tracker.Iterations+1
'Run some GETS and POSTS
End If
