# Page Load Testing
Automates page load testing with Firefox + Selenium IDE + har-export-trigger. Exports to HAR to view page timings and resource loading times.
Originally used to test websites against a mid-latency network.
Raw sampled HAR data also provided.
Note: It does not use page ready method as it is unreliable (especially for JavaScript rendered websites) because it sometimes does not wait for DOM completion
## Prerequisite
```
pip install haralyzer
```
**Optional** (for graph.py script, can be omitted):
```
pip install matplotlib (may require sudo apt-get install python-tk)
pip install numpy
```
## Environment
Linux and Firefox 54 (should work with 42+)
## Installation - Firefox and Selenium IDE setup
### Firefox
#### 1. about:debugging

#### 2. about:config
use these settings:
````
extensions.netmonitor.har.contentAPIToken = "test"
extensions.netmonitor.har.enableAutomation = "true"
````
#### 3. (Optional) In Firefox Developer Tools (F12):
```settings > tick "disable HTTP Cache"```

2. Under "Selenium Core Extensions", select **user-extension.js** as provided (make sure while.js is in the same directory)
