4 TESTING CITRIX WEB INTERFACE SESSIONS Creating a Load Test Script Creating a Load Test Script The easiest approach to creating a load test script for a Citrix Web Interface session is to use the SilkPerformer Recorder, SilkPerformer’s engine for capturing and recording traffic and generating test scripts. The SilkPerformer Recorder captures and records traffic between a Citrix Web Interface client application (MS Internet Explorer, version 5.5 or higher) and the server under test. When recording is complete, the SilkPerformer Recorder automatically generates a test script based on the recorded traffic. Scripts are written in SilkPerformer’s scripting language, Benchmark Description Language (BDL). Procedure To model a load test script for a Citrix Web Interface session 1 Click the Model Script button on the SilkPerformer Workflow bar. 2 The Model Script dialog appears. Select Record in the Script area of the dialog. 3 From the Select application profile list box, select Internet Explorer. Note Internet Explorer application profile is appropriate for testing Citrix Web Interface/NFuse sessions only (for standard Citrix client recording, see “Creating Test Scripts”). 4 Click OK. 5 The SilkPerformer Recorder then opens in minimized form along with Internet Explorer. Enter the name of the Citrix server in Internet Explorer’s Address field and click Enter. Note To see a report of the actions that occur during recording, maximize the SilkPerformer Recorder dialog by clicking Change GUI size on the Recorder’s toolbar. 6 To log into the Citrix Application Portal, enter your Username, Password, and Domain into the Citrix Web Interface login screen. Contact your system administrator if you do not have this information. 7 Click Log In. 8 The Application Portal appears. This portal contains the applications that have been published for shared use. Select the hosted application you wish to record. 50 SilkPerformer Citrix Tutorial

Interact with the shared application in the Citrix Recorder in the same way that you want your virtual users to operate during the load test.
