Here, I don’t meant I’ll use some bad boys out there to test my script. What I’m saying is I’ll use badboy, a web testing tool, to test my script. 😛
Badboy makes testing web applications very easy with its capture/replay style testing tool. It captures the activities our browser is performing while we navigate our site. We can save the steps and do the load test by repeating same actions concurrently through many users.
Badboy can be a very essential tool for test automation, if we do testing or Quality Assurance work as it help us to record and play back tests of our web site or application.
We can also modify the parameters to different values in Badboy using Script Variables.
Also we can load values from any ODBC compliant database into Badboy to exhaustively test whole ranges of data values.
Badboy could be free or very cheap depending upon the licence agreement.
