Dynamic Datasets

Datasets can be used to supply dynamic or unique values to your Protocol Bot scripts and Browser Bot scripts, so your load test can submit different data to the server for each bot or iteration. Datasets aren’t currently supported in Playwright scripts.

For example:

  • Logging in with a different username and password each time.
  • Submitting a registration form with unique personal data for each user.
  • Searching for any of 100 search phrases at random.

For most web applications, testing with dynamic data is important. It’s more realistic and it may force the application and database to work harder than if you submit the same data over and over.

Editing Datasets

Editing datasets in Loadster is like using a spreadsheet. Each row signifies a separate entry in the dataset, and you can use multiple columns to supply multiple fields related to the same row.
