Software

At Automation Excellence, we often develop custom software to make our work easier. There is value in publishing some of these tools under an open source license. Listed here are some of the software tools we have developed.

Grinder Webtest

This custom module for the Grinder load testing framework allows execution of Visual Studio "webtest" files. It supports parameterization, capturing of variables in HTTP responses, and response validation using regular expressions. Test scripts may be logically grouped into test sets, allowing them to share variables and captured values. Test sets can be run sequentially, randomly, in a specific thread, or according to a percentage-based weighting.

CSVSee

CSVSee is a collection of tools to manipulate and visualize comma-separated (CSV) data.

It was originally created to graph data from Grinder and Windows Performance Monitor, but is general-purpose enough to create time-based graphs of just about any numerical CSV data.
