User Review
( votes)Recently we were evaluating StresStimulus, the load testing tool, for our performance testing requirements. The tool is quite user friendly and intuitive and in a matter of few minutes (and few clicks), we were up and running.
Get the tool (trial) here

Install it with the Fiddler Add-On (recommended) option checked. It also has stand alone tool along with the fiddler add-on,
Once installed, open the fiddler, go to StresStimulus tab and click on Record Test Case …
This opens us the Test wizard from us, here we have selected Web Browser – Chrome as the recording source for Dynamics CRM.
Specify the Dynamics CRM URL and other options as required and click on Record
During recording we can specify various transaction, or basically events that we are capturing inside the recording toolbar. Here clicking on Start Recording will open Chrome for us with Dynamics CRM URL specified. We have specified “Login” in the transaction box to capture set of actions specific to login.
After login, we want to capture creation of Contact Create, we can specify the same in Recorder tool bar and continue creating the contact record in CRM.
Similarly, we can record other events, once done, click on Stop to stop the recording.

As the last step we can verify the test case, which replays the test case to check for any errors, before we can save it or run it.
Next after successful verification, we can define Load Pattern and Number of VU (Virtual user)
Here we have specified Steady Load with 50 Users. The other options available are Step Load, Peak Load and Custom Load. We can request trial to receive 7 day license, which allows us to specify 50 VU, else the download version is limited to 3 VU.
We are leaving the Test Duration values as default
Same for the think time i.e. 2 minutes.
Finally, we can click on Run Test to run our test configured. We can also run the test from Run and Monitor Test Options
We can see our Test Run in action
Once the test run completes, we are presented with the Test Summary
