Q&A
| Q1: | I don't like to use scripting. How can I do this in .NET? |
A1: | You can use interopt, wrap the ActiveX objects with .NET classes, and then use them within managed code. |
| Q2: | What file types are generated by an ACT project, and what is each type used for? |
A2: | An ACT project uses .act, .vbs (or .js), and .xml files. The .act file is the ACT project file and ties together all the other files into a project that can be opened from either the Visual Studio .NET IDE or the standalone ACT program. .vbs or .js files contain scripting code used to run tests. A number of .xml files are used for test definitions, reports, and other output and settings. |
| Q3: | What is the Connections property in the Visual Studio .NET IDE of an ACT project used to control? |
A3: | The Connections property determines how many simultaneous Web connections are made by the client controller to the Web site under test. Up to the limits of the client computer, communication channel, and Web server, increasing the connections increases the load placed on the Web server. |
| Q4: | I need more info. What's next? |
A4: | There are some articles and resources on the Web that will get you going. These articles cover Web server tuning and more details on ACT:http://www.microsoft.com/applicationcenter/techinfo/productdoc/default.asphttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/acs/proddocs/ac2k/acjmwe_welcome.asphttp://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/administration/web/tuning.asp |
