The Exec Agents can be configured in such a way that Email and SMS Alert Notifications are released during the execution of a load test job.

Sending Email and SMS Alert Notifications during Test Execution

The

...

corresponding Alert Configuration Menu

...

 can be called from

...

the Personal Settings Menu.

...

The Alert Configuration Menu

...

 will create a file

...

named AlertConfig.xml

...

 which is located in the ZebraTester installation directory and which contains the configuration data for all alert devices and for all alert notifications. If

...

no AlertConfig.xmlfile exists on an Exec Agent no alerts are released from this Exec Agent ¹. Each time when a job is started on an Exec Agent the Exec Agent tries to read this file which means that the file can be created, updated or deleted without the need of restarting the corresponding Exec Agent.

...

¹ As a further option, it is also supported to use a specific alert configuration for a particular load test program. In such a case you have first to place a copy of the

...

file AlertConfig.xmlinside the Project Navigator directory where the load test program is stored. After that, you can manually edit the

...

copied AlertConfig.xmlfile and then you have to ZIP it together with the compiled class of the load test program (similar to the procedure which is required for using input files or using Plugins). This effect that the program-specific alert configuration is automatically transmitted to the Exec Agent(s) and that it overrides the default behavior on the Exec Agent(s). Note:

...

 the copy of

...

the AlertConfig.xmlfile is stored in such a case inside the job-specific directory on the Exec Agent.

Alert Conditions

...

The following Alert Conditions are supported:

• If a Job cannot be started

• At the

...

• start of a Job (information)

• If an Internal Error occurs during the Execution of a Job

• During the Execution of a Job in Periodically Intervals (configurable interval time in minutes)

• At Every Interval (information)

• If the Session Failure Rate is greater than a threshold in percent ¹

• If the Average Response Time per Page is greater than a threshold in seconds ¹

• If the Average Response Time of the Slowest Page is greater than a threshold in seconds ¹

• At the End of a Job (information)

• At the End of a Job: If the Session Failure Rate is greater than a threshold in percent

• At the End of a Job: If the Average Response Time per Page is greater than a threshold in seconds

• At the End of a Job: If the Average Response Time of the Slowest Page is greater than a threshold in seconds

¹ = The values for periodically checked alert conditions are calculated from the measurements collected within one interval. Repeated alerts are suppressed. A cancel notification is released if the measurement is later less than the threshold.

Message Headlines

The Message Headlines for all Alert Notifications can be configured and support placeholders. The values of the placeholders are calculated at runtime and are replaced within the message headlines.

Generic Placeholders

Generic Placeholders which can be used in every type of alert notification are:

Specific Placeholders

During the Execution of a Job (Information at Every Interval) and at the End of a Job (Information)

During the Execution of a Job and at the End of a Job: if the Session Failure Rate is greater than %

During the Execution of a Job and at the End of a Job: if the Average Response Time per Page is greater than seconds

During the Execution of a Job and at the End of a Job: if the Average Response Time of the Slowest Page is greater than seconds
