3 Tips to Load Testing
Silverlight Applications

Microsoft Silverlight® is an Internet browser plug-in for developing rich Internet applications, incorporating animation and audio and video feeds. Silverlight, Microsoft's solution for rich Internet applications, uses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for its browser-server communication.

NeoLoad is ready!

Silverlight module

Silverlight applications may rely on .Net binary XML to communicate with the server: MC-NBFX (binary XML) or MC-NBFS (binary SOAP). Since this is a binary protocol, testing such Silverlight applications requires this protocol to be specifically supported.

NeoLoad’s Silverlight module allows you to:

Record the .Net binary XML to be played back (module not required for text or regular XML traffic).
Extract/replace XML binary data during the test in order to variabilize the calls (the data is presented in XML format in the scenario).
Automatically handle the session IDs used by Silverlight.

Note: All the modules are included with the demo license.

“Make sure it works!”

Thanks to NeoLoad, you can create scenarios to test your Microsoft Silverlight applications' behavior under stress and validate their performances, while pinpointing any weaknesses.

Load testing your applications with NeoLoad means you can enter the production phase with peace of mind and at a reasonable cost.
