Real-time communication and WebSocket are both becoming more and more common in online applications and testing them calls for a new strategy. You may monitor and examine the WebSocket traffic using tools like Fiddler or Wireshark to evaluate a web application that makes use of WebSockets or real-time communication.
You can also use testing frameworks like JMeter or Gatling to simulate high volumes of WebSocket traffic and test the application’s performance under load.
Additionally, manual testing can be done by emulating different scenarios and ensuring that the WebSocket connection is established and maintained properly. Testing the application’s error-handling capabilities and security measures is also important in ensuring the reliability and security of real-time communication.
