Badboy: Easy-to-use front end for JMeter
My quest for load-testing tools for Banner Self-Service has led me to Badboy, an tool that allows you to record your actions as you browse a web site, and then save those actions — along with variables and programming logic — to a test plan you can then run in the open source load-tester Jmeter.
You can also run the tests directly within Badboy, but I found this didn’t work so well with Banner Self-Service; I’m not sure why — it worked fine with Moodle. The exported Jmeter test plans also worked fine in my initial tests; I’m now working on setting up a more complicated test with a hundred or so users.
I came across the mention of Badboy on the Luminis Developers Network, which includes posts dealing with the Luminis portal, Banner Self Service and Internet Native Banner.
