The
Silk Performer
Visual Studio extension allows you to implement test drivers in
Microsoft Visual Studio that are compatible with
Silk Performer. Such test drivers can be augmented with
Silk Performer features that facilitate test organization, verification, performance measurement, test data generation, and reporting.
Tests created with the extension can be run either within
Microsoft Visual Studio, with full access to
Silk Performer's functionality, or within
Silk Performer, for concurrency and
load
testing scenarios.
The extension offers the following features:
- Writing test code in any of the main .NET languages (C# or VB.NET).
- Testing Web services / .NET Remoting objects and redirecting HTTP traffic over the
Silk Performer Web engine to take advantage of features such as modem simulation and IP-address multiplexing. SOAP envelopes can also be
explored using
TrueLog Explorer.
- Defining virtual users and their transactions through .NET custom attributes. A BDL script is generated automatically based
on the custom attributes that have been applied to classes/methods.
- Running TryScript tests from within
Microsoft Visual Studio with the ability to watch virtual user output in a tool window within
Microsoft Visual Studio.
- Exploring the results of Try Scripts.
