Analyzing Results
Measurement results can be analyzed using the Analyze Load Tests menu, into which the statistics result files can be loaded.
Distributed Load Tests
Load tests can also be transmitted and started on remote computers. Similarly, a “single” load test can be divided up and run on several computers, in which case the load-releasing computers are combined into a "virtual" application cluster.
Multiple Client IP Addresses
Optionally, you may want an Exec Agent to use multiple client IP addresses during the load test in order to simulate users from different network locations.
Page Scanner
Zebra Tester's Page Scanner function browses and explores web pages of a web server automatically in a recursive way - similar to a Web Spider or a Web Crawler
Web Tools
The Web tools menu can be invoked from the main menu and contains four small utilities which can be useful to examine the data exchanged between the web browser and the webserver.
Modifying Programs
ZebraTester follows the philosophy that almost all functions can be done by using the GUI, without requiring programming knowledge. Nevertheless, it is also possible to modify the automatically-generated load test programs manually. You can freely modify the program on this "second-level" according to your needs; however, you should remember that the modifications are not protected from being overwritten when the load test program is generated again. You should be sure that you have already made all Var Handler definitions, such as defining Input Files and User Input Fields, before you start modifying the program code.
Direct Access to Measured Data
The ZebraTester Java API also contains classes and methods which allow direct access to all measured values stored within a statistics result file of a load test run (.prxres file).
