Hi guys i have developed a web application that is hosted on client side test server, i have to check the response time of each page (loading) but i cant install any tool on the test server totally confused. guys give some idea.
Use FireFox and the Life-Of-Request info plugin. It will tell you how long until first byte, how long to display entire page. How many requests were made. Other stuff.

Does this need to be automated or can you do a one off for a few pages and call it a day?
FireBug add-on for Firefox (http://getfirebug.com/). It will help you with quite a few things related to web app development / testing. Specifically page response time can be tested in Net panel of FireBug: http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Net_Panel.

I'm currently working for a client whose request is to make a test automation for a desktop application. And they recommended using cypress.io, which i think was built mainly for web automation. I tried looking to their docs but it seems I can't find anything that enables it to run desktop app automation. Sorry for the noob question, I'm still a newbie here.
Thanks in advance for the answers!
cypress.io is not capable of automating desktop apps.
(Source: Did a brief POC couple of weeks back with Cypress.io)
Cypress is more about a web application automation framework. This means if the application can run in a browser, Cypress can automate it.
Even their GitHub project header says the same :)

I am building a web site in Django that would scrape data from some site, so people could enter the site, set custom data filters and view scraped data in friendly format.
The problem is that requests and beautiful soup modules will not be enough for the scraping purposes, since I will also need some automation to be done (loading javascript or clicking buttons).
Since Selenium requiers a webdriver to be downloaded and put into a path, is it possible to use it from within web app? Like hosting the webdriver somewhere?
I am also open to solutions other than Selenium, if there are any.
I think what you would want is a selenium grid server.

Basically you host it on some remote server and then you can connect to it and spin up web drivers remotely and use them in code as needed. It also comes with a handy interface for checking on current browser instances and even taking screenshots or executing scripts from the web ui.
We are in the process of implementing Success Factors LMS, and trying to play and view SCORM compatible files exported from Adobe Captivate 8 and 9 in Success Factors LMS.
I get the message - 'ERROR – unable to acquire LMS API, content may not play properly and results may not be recorded. Please contact technical support’
I have tried SCORM versions 1.2 v3 and 2004 V2 and V4. We can view the content, however it does not track, show as complete etc.
We are also producing Scorm compliant files using Skillcast and Articulate, but we still hit the same issue, we can view the content after closing the API error window, but still does not track.
Anyone experienced this problem before? Or know of a fix?
Many thanks
Normally this issue comes up when the course is unable to get the SCORM API from the LMS...I have seen a ton of SCORM content running in Success Factors before, so I wonder if the issue is in the setup. Are you seeing any "Access Denied" type errors in the browser element inspector/developer tools? I wonder if the course just can not find/have access to the player window. If the course is launching in a new window, you may want to try launching it in the frameset. I have seen folks get around this issue by making sure the player and sco are in the same window...
If you wanted to rule out the content being the issue, you can always test your content in the SCORM Cloud's free sandbox (https://cloud.scorm.com) to make sure the course is properly asking for the API...
If you have any other questions, we would be happy to help...you can just shoot us an email at support#scorm.com.
Thank you!

The error occurs because the content is not speaking to the Learning Management System (LMS). The code that runs to initialize the session doesn't happen. There is no return "ping" from the LMS.
You will get this error when you publish in SCORM and run from your desktop, or from a web server that isn't connected to an LMS. If it occurs when you are launching from an LMS it can either mean that the SCORM API isn't configured correctly, or your content server is on a different domain (cross-domain) than your application servers.
To test, you should try launching your content in different browsers. Our system was configured in such a way that Firefox and Chrome read our content to be cross-domain issue, and threw the SCORM API error, but Internet Explorer worked just fine.
In the end, it was determined that our server configuration in tandem with our firewall and security settings read the Content server as cross-domain and we had to redeploy our content servers within the firewall.
I am working on a site that uses the PayPal API. This new site will replace the old site at my job. As of right now, I need to check what data the old site sent to the PayPal API. Is there a way to check what data is being sent to and from a different site or API? It is data that is not typed in by the user, but data that already exists in the database that is being sent to the API.
Any help or advice would be great.
Thank you!
It "depends". On Windows platform you could use:
Fiddler or;
Microsoft Message Analyzer
to inspect traffic i/o (on the client system where either tool is installed). I'm sure other platforms will have similar tools.
Chrome Dev (or any other browser) tool will help with browser based traffic.
IMHO, depending on how "old" the existing system is, it maybe worth looking at the API again to see if any newer features are worth the effort since you're updating things...and seems to me getting paid/payments systems/ops would be something high on the priority list :)
Hth...
We have developed a comet based application for chat (using streaming approach). The application has been developed in ASP .Net 3.5 sp1.
The browser has two connections with the server. One for posting and another for receiving chat messages. While load testing with Jmeter or VSTS the posting is getting recorded and load tested but not the receiving portion. Can some one please suggest any load testing tool which can address this issue.
I've come across the same problem, the top runner for me at the moment is browsermob.com. It has a complete API that allows you to create test scenarios that can "watch and wait" on pages recording every http request made as though they are visiting through a real browser. It gets kind of expensive if you need to test with more than 25 concurrent users (browser users), but seems very reasonably priced from what I have seen so far.
It'd be really interesting to see what tools others who are somewhat technically inept are using.
