Can anyone suggest any tools that can simulate users panning around in a map? I have used tools such as SoapUI to do load testing, but never anything to simulate users.
In case it matters, the app I will be testing is based on ESRI Javascript API.
Tell me more

Check out the DOH Robot. I have not used it with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript but it's the only tool that I know of that is suited for this task (that's not to say there aren't others out there...). Earlier this week I published a blog post on using DOH (but not the DOH Robot) with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript which might be of interest as well. |

While I haven't used it much, perhaps Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org/) is worth a shot. When playing with it, I found it quite clunky and not all that intuitive, but for testing browser interaction with javascript enabled, then I haven't found too many other options. I would suspect with most tools though, you would have to write the javascript that simulates the users movements, which I would imagine is a decent sized job in itself, the test runner will then run that code. I would also love to know if there are better tools out there. |
