Can jmeter be used to load test a SCORM package

Can jmeter be used to load test a SCORM package

Hi 

I'm creating load test scenarios for a Moodle course using Jmeter. I was wondering if it is possible to perform a load test on a SCORM package using jmeter because it looks like jmeter is not capable of executing javascript.

Is there any way in which one can load test a SCORM package if not through jmeter.


Thanks.

Hi,
the only way is to create ad-hoc packages which simulate the amount of SCORM calls done during a sampled student experience based on your SCORM packages, on average.

Hi 

Thanks a lot for the reply.

If possible, could you give a brief outline how it can be done??

Hi,
you should create a "normal" sample package with a SCORM tool, just to get the Package skeleton, mainly the imsmanifest.xml file, then you can create an HTML page charged to perform a series of SCORM calls with the right delays e.g. the ones done by your SCOes with no tests. Then the same should be done to simulate a quiz in a SCO.

How to look at the SCORM calls? Attend you real packages in Moodle using the API logging to easily record the SCORM calls and create an average set of them.

Finally you need to create the steps using those "dummy" SCORM packages.

HTH,
