To test a URL (Benchmark Web applications):
-
Go to: Performance | Testing and select the Test URL tab.
-
Click "Test URL" and type the full path of the script. To select a previously tested URL, click "Show History". By default, URLs are tested using GET variables defined in the query string.
-
Click " Add variables to URL" to add the variable Name and Value to test URLs using specific SESSION or COOKIE variables. Add the User Name and Password to test URLs that are restricted by HTTP Authentication.
-
To delete any variable from the list, click "Delete" next to the variable.
-
To determine a test's duration, specify the time in seconds (per script) in the "Duration of test" box.
-
Press Run.
Note:
To add specific SESSION variables to the test, make sure that your PHP is configured correctly to work with sessions. For example: if you use 'files' as your session.save_handler, confirm that the session.save_path is a valid path. If you use 'user' as your session.save_handler, you must prepend the file containing the user-level session storage functions.
