WARNING

This package was rejected on 05 Jan 2022. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

rstrahl (maintainer) on 29 Nov 2021 19:15:49 +00:00:

User 'rstrahl' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 01 Dec 2021 16:02:56 +00:00:

WestwindWebSurge has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow packageSourceUrl, pointing to the url where the package source resides. This is a strong guideline because it simplifies collaboration. Please add it to the nuspec. More...

WestwindWebSurge has failed automated package testing (verification).
Please visit https://gist.github.com/f1b1bfd2bdc4ffb4274564636fe2634a for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 21 Dec 2021 16:03:36 +00:00:

We've found WestwindWebSurge v2.0.0.20 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 05 Jan 2022 16:03:51 +00:00:

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move WestwindWebSurge v2.0.0.20 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

West Wind WebSurge is an easy to use Http Request and Load Testing tool that makes it easy to capture or create a series of Http requests, and test them either interactively individually service discovery and logic testing, or under heavy load for stress testing. WebSurge's goal is to easily integrate request and load testing into your development process: No complex setup and a smooth and fast UI flow to quickly view, run, share and manage requests. You're ready to run load tests in minutes.

Use our built-in Web capture tool to capture and filter Web sessions or use Telerik's Fiddler to capture and import requests from any HTTP source. Alternately manualy enter requests into the request editor to quickly create requests. You can further edit requests in the editor, or in the live request preview. All Http request data is stored as plain text Http headers, so it's easy to create, share, edit or even generate test sessions content manually or via code.

Load test sessions run a session of Http requests under heavy load and report simple results back via a summary screen. You can export the result report, or the raw test data. Finally a command line tool is available to automate load tests from the terminal and capture results for automation or tests.

WebSurge is an alternative to the popular PostMan tool, but with a more streamlined User Interface and load testing capability out of the box.

West Wind WebSurge comes in several license modes: 

* Free Personal and Evaluation
* Single User and Commercial Use
* Site License

West Wind WebSurge is source open with source code available on GitHub, 
but it is a licensed product. A fully functional free version is available 
for personal and evaluation use, but commercial use requires purchase 
of a license.

Personal and Evaluation License

The free personal and evaluation version is unrestricted 
and has all the features and functionality of the registered version, 
but shows occasional freeware notices in the user interface. Tampering 
with or removing of the notice is not allowed with the free personal 
evaluation license.

Commercial License

For commercial use of West Wind Web Surge a license is required. Commercial 
use is considered use within any commercial, government, religious, non-profit

For commercial use a single user license can be purchased which removes 
the freeware notices. Each licensed user must have a separate license, but 
a single user may use multiple copies of West Wind WebSurge on multiple machines, 
given that only one copy at a time is in use.

An organizational site license is available to allow any number of users from a 
single organization to run unlimited numbers of West Wind WebSurge instances 
within that single organization.

Any purchased license is valid for the duration of the major release that it was 
purchased for (ie. 1.00-1.99) and free upgrades are available for minor version 
releases. Free major version upgrades are also available within one year of purchase
of a license.

for use outside of your organization.

We encourage pull requests for feature suggestions or bug fixes to be submitted back 
to the WebSurge repository. Any contributors that provide meaningful enhancements, 
help with identifying and or fixing of bugs or by actively promoting West Wind WebSurge 
can qualify for a free license (at our discretion).
