Announcing neXpert, a performance-tuning Fiddler add-on

neXpert is an add-on to Fiddler which aids in performance testing web applications. neXpert was created to reduce the time it takes to look for performance issues with Fiddler and to create a deliverable that can be used to educate development teams.

neXpert includes the following features:
+ Add step markers while capturing traffic to demarcate steps or clicks in a scenario
+ Add easy access buttons for performance testing with Fiddler
+ Ping each host in a capture to calculate current latency
+ Create rudimentary response time predictions for different latencies and browsers (BETA)
+ Create a HTML report which checks for performance issues with the following:
HTTP Response Code, ASP.NET View State, Static Files, Large Images, Compression, Authentication, ETags, Cache Headers, Connection Header, Vary header, Cookies

IEToys: x64Button

Ever find yourself wondering why a page doesn’t work, and after much investigation, you realize that you somehow opened the page in 64bit IE? Was your annoyance compounded by the need to manually open 32bit IE and copy over the current URL to see Flash and other contain not available in 64bit IE?

(No? Okay, maybe it was just me. :-)



However, if you know anyone like me, they might like this trivial little extension.

Install x64Button

When installed, it puts an “Open in 32bit IE” icon in the IE64 toolbar. It also shows up in Manage Add-ons, so the 64-bit version of the dialog isn’t entirely desolate.

As always, bug reports, suggestions, etc, greatly appreciated.

Minor new Meddler version (v2.1.0.1)

I’ve posted a new version of Meddler that makes getting query string parameters simpler.

import Meddler;
import System;
import System.Net.Sockets;
import System.Windows.Forms;

class Handlers
{
static function OnConnection(oSession: Session)
{

if (oSession.ReadRequest()){
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(oSession.GetQueryParams()["AA"]);
}

oSession.socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Send);
oSession.socket.Close();
}

}

//Try with the following URL http://localhost:8088/ThisIsAPage.htm?AA=1234&bb=5678&AA=910
