Web Test Browser Types

  • Article

At Geeks I showed the Load Test using IE6 as a client and mentioned that you can add your own entries to the client browser list. Sean Lumley explains how.

The IE7 template looks like this:

<Browser Name="Internet Explorer 7.0">

  <Headers>

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)" />

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="GZIP" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>

And for FireFox it look like this:

<Browser Name="Firefox 2.0">

  <Headers>

    <Header Name="User-Agent" Value="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0" />

    <Header Name="Accept" Value="*/*" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Language" Value="{{$IEAcceptLanguage}}" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Encoding" Value="GZIP" />

    <Header Name="Accept-Charset" Value="ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7" />

  </Headers>

</Browser>
