Http Request and Load Testing made easy

Welcome to West Wind WebSurge.

Testing HTTP requests and load testing a site should be easy.

It's something that should take a few minutes to set up and then let your run requests on demand or run an on the fly load test on a regular basis during the development process, so that you can monitor performance of your site while you are building it.

Using this tool you can:

• Create and Capture Http Requests
• Easily play them back individually for REST API testing
• Easily play them all or selectively back under high load
• Easily add and edit requests to sessions
• Easily share sessions via Source Control or Shared Online Sessions

User Interface

Here's what WebSurge's User Interface looks like:

Figure 1 - West Wind WebSurge's main user interface shows everything in one easy to grasp view. You can edit requests inline to make request changes quickly and transparently.

It's also easy to capture requests from external sources:

• Manually create requests using Http Headers
• Capturing requests in a browser session using our Capture Browser
• Importing requests from OpenAPI or Swagger
• Importing request from Postman and Fiddler
• Pasting individual requests from Http Traces or CURL commands

Running Load Tests

Tests can be run at any time. Simply specify the time duration of the test, and the number of simultaneous threads of operation and go.

Results are displayed in an easily viewable report screen that shows:

• Summary Report of requests
• Request per second chart over run of test
• Detail information for each URL in the test
