Load, Stress & Performance Testing with OpenSTA
Taming the Microsoft .NET ViewState with SCL
By Antony Marcano
Abstract:
OpenSTA
is a ‘Free to use’ Open Source, HTTP/S Load, Stress &
Performance testing tool with features rivalling many commercial
load-testing tools. When using OpenSTA
for load testing Microsoft .NET applications, one of the first issues
that the script developer encounters is managing the ViewState
parameter.
This
article explains how to capture and replay with the .NET ViewState
parameter using OpenSTA. It also discusses practical performance tuning
issues associated with .NET and using ‘ViewState’.

company in their responsive and flexible approach that kept pace with
the ongoing needs of our development programmes. They have been able to
provide a broad range of testing services some of which were very
specialised. When asked to recommend an independent testing company I
