does web test simulate the same as the explorer

Hello All,

i have a web application that sends in one user action some several web requests - some of those requests launch from the explorer in parallel - for example request1 send by the explorer at 15:00:01.500 the second request sent at 15:00:02 - the response body for both of the requests returns at the same time 15:00:10 - so my question is - does web test has the option to act exactly as the explorer by sending more then one request at a time when it necessary.

thanks,

tzvika.

    thanks for the quick answer - is there any workaround to solve the problem - if not i will have to estimate the total response time for those action that has parallel requests and not to give accurate results - in my opinion microsoft must add that missing option to the web test tool.

    The web test runtime engine will send up to two requests in parallel, but only for dependent requests that are contained within the response to a page request. For example, if Page1.html contains image1.gif and image2.gif, the requests for image1.gif and image2.gif will be in parallel. However, there is no way to explicitly insert two requests in the web test and specify that they should be sent in parallel.

    can you tell if there is an expected due date for another version of web test or any release updated patches - any way i'm glad to here you are working to solve the concurrent request issue.

    This is certainly something we're working on for future releases.
