Using WebDriver and Dynatrace-Ajax to help your Performance test

I have WebDriver Automation test suite in place, So i do not want to create new scripts like Watir or Selenium to do performance test with dynatrace-ajax, just like this post by Watir : http://blog.dynatrace.com/2009/11/04/5-steps-to-automate-browser-performance-analysis-with-watir-and-dynatrace-ajax-edition/

or This one by Selenium 1.0: http://blog.dynatrace.com/2010/05/21/how-to-use-your-selenium-tests-for-automated-javascriptajax-performance-analysis/

I have created Raft which is a Automation fixture by integrating WebDriver with TestNG to help to Automation Test : https://github.com/joychester/Raft/wiki

So I can use WebDriver scripts to help with Performance sanity test now, which save a lot of effort to find out performance problem in early stage and also reuse the scripts already created by QA team :)
First you need to launch Dynatrace-ajax client from : Start-> All Programs-> dynatrace-> dynatrace Ajax Edition

Then you need to add "DT_IE_XXX" Environment Variables to start your test.

This is my Runnner.bat file to start my WebDriver tests:

 @echo off  
 set DT_IE_AGENT_ACTIVE=true  
 set DT_IE_SESSION_NAME=dynaTrace_Automation
 java -cp ..\Classes;..\lib\*; raft.engine.TestEngine > log.txt  

Here is a Sample test script:

 @Test(priority = 4)  
   public void aTest3() throws InterruptedException{  
     WebDriverPlus driver = WebDriverPlus.newWebDriverPlusInstance("IE");  
     //InternetExplorerDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();  
     Thread.sleep(2000);  
     driver.get("http://www.google.com/");  
     Thread.sleep(2000);  
     driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("dynatrace");  
     Thread.sleep(2000);  
     JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;  
     js.executeScript("_dt_addMark(\"start_search\")");  
     driver.findElement(By.name("btnG")).click();  
     js.executeScript("_dt_addMark(\"end_search\")");  
     System.out.println("Its Test3");  
     driver.quit();  
   }  

PS: Here i am using Raft's own method newWebDriverPlusInstance() which can load different browser Type to do your test.

  WebDriverPlus driver = WebDriverPlus.newWebDriverPlusInstance("IE");   

Of course, you can use InternetExplorerDriver directly in sample code which is commented.

Here is a screen shot of Dynatrace-ajax summary generated by my WebDriver test:

Enjoy!
