Test URL, tests a single script, running Performance and Compression tests at the same time. The test results indicate the script improvements achieved by Code Acceleration, Dynamic Content Caching and File Compression.
To test a URL (Benchmark Web applications):
Go to: Performance | Testing and select the Test URL tab.
Click Test URL and type the full path of the script. To select a previously tested URL, click Show History. By default, URLs are tested using GET variables defined in the query string.
Press Add variables to URL to add the variable Name and Value to test URLs using specific SESSION or COOKIE variables. Add the User Name and Password to test URLs that are restricted by HTTP Authentication.
To delete any variable from the list, click next the variable.
To determine the Duration of test, specify the time in seconds (per script) in the Duration of test box.
Press Run.
Note:
To add specific SESSION variables to the test, make sure that your PHP is configured correctly to work with sessions. For example: if you use 'files' as your session.save_handler, confirm that the session.save_path is a valid path. If you use 'user' as your session.save_handler, you must prepend the file containing the user-level session storage functions.
Test Results
The Test Results screen depicts the Dynamic Content Caching Results, the Code Acceleration Results, and the File Compression Results:
Dynamic Content Caching Results compare between the Base script and the script after it has been cached, and calculates the total performance improvement accomplished due to caching.
Code Acceleration Results display the performance gain. If the script is cached, acceleration does not improve performance acceleration is therefore not necessary
File Compression Results compare between the original file size and the compressed file size and calculates the savings in bytes and the improvement in percentage.
