Coded UI test and Web Performance Test

Here is my thought about Coded UI test and Web Performance Test.


Test Run

Pros
Cons
Coded UI Test
(Client Side)
Launch IE and simulate User Mouse Click Action.




Regression Test/ Functional Test
We can visually see the report /dashboard in IE

It takes time to finish the test run
Load Test:  simulate 100 users in 10 minutes ; the machine will launch 100 IEs in 10 minutes (not good)
Web Performance test (Server side)
Doesn’t need to launch IE and VSTS can capture the screenshot automatically. Very powerful.



Regression Test/ Functional Test
Run the test very quickly.

Load Test:  simulate 100 users in 10 minutes ; the machine will not launch 100 IEs in 10 minutes and easily run the test

Regard report / dashboard as the binary data and in the screenshot; we are not easy to see the dashboard after the tests run.


My Preference

Regression Test (BVTs) : Coded UI Test /Web Performance Test (depend on the situation)

Load Test: add some Web Performance Tests into one Load Test
