ITexis – AppsMon for windows is an automated performance testing tool for Web and non-web based windows applications. This tool emulates a user request to an application by recording the sequence of transactions that constitute a typical user access, in a script file. When this script is executed, the recorded sequence of transactions is replayed, and the availability and response time of the application are measured.

AppsMon Script Recording




Points to Remember Before Recording Scripts


  • AppsMon Client emulation is supported on Windows platforms only.
  • Xservice is the name of AppsMon service.
  • An eG external agent is required for monitoring emulated clients.
  • eG external agents assigned to handle emulation tests cannot execute other eG tests.
  • Since the AppsMon emulates real user transactions by opening client applications and emulating user clicks on the client application, AppsMon requires complete control of the system on which it executes. Therefore, the AppsMon for Windows should be installed on a dedicated system.
  • Important to ensure that the environment on which was recorded the scenario is the same as that on which it will run. Environment means the following:
    • Operating system
    • The language of the operating system
    • Screen resolution
    • Color depth
  • To ensure a smooth and effective integration, always use the latest version available on ftp://download.itexis.com
                User name: Customer
                Password: pwd4u

  •  For the integration to work, the eG license should have the Client Emulation capability enabled.
