Performance Testing

Performance Testing

To test application performance, add rules using FiddlerScript to the OnBeforeResponse function (except where noted). For example:

Simulate modem uploads (add to OnBeforeRequest function)

    // Delay sends by 300ms per KB uploaded.
    oSession["request-trickle-delay"] = "300";

Simulate modem downloads

    // Delay receives by 150ms per KB downloaded.
    oSession["response-trickle-delay"] = "150";

Flag content which isn't set to cache on the client.

    if (!(oSession.oResponse.headers.Exists("Expires") 
    || (oSession.oResponse.headers.ExistsAndContains("Cache-Control", "age")))
    || (oSession.oResponse.headers.Exists("Vary"))){
    {
    oSession["ui-color"]="brown"; // Use C# color strings here.
    oSession["ui-italic"]="true"; 
    }

Display in the "Custom Column" the number of milliseconds from the moment of the request until the last byte was received.

    oSession["ui-customcolumn"] = oSession["X-TTLB"];

Display the # of milliseconds until the First Byte was received from the server, followed by the # of ms until the Last Byte.

    oSession["ui-customcolumn"] = "FB: " + oSession["X-TTFB"] + "; LB: " + oSession["X-TTLB"];

Add a CopyTimers context menu item to the Session List (Scope is Global)

    public static ContextAction("CopyTimers")
    function CopyTimers(oSessions: Fiddler.Session[]){
      if (null == oSessions){
        MessageBox.Show("Please select sessions to copy timers for.", "Nothing to Do");
        return;
      }

      var s: System.Text.StringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

      for (var x = 0; x < oSessions.Length; x++)  {
        s.AppendFormat("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}, {7}\r\n",
        oSessions[x].Timers.ClientConnected,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ClientDoneRequest,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ServerConnected,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ServerGotRequest,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ServerBeginResponse,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ServerDoneResponse,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ClientBeginResponse,
        oSessions[x].Timers.ClientDoneResponse
        );
      }
      Utilities.CopyToClipboard(s.ToString());
      MessageBox.Show("Done.");
    }
