Tool Documentation - Developer Tools

Features

Connection Management

Configure and manage WebSocket connections

Support for WSS (secure) and WS connections
Custom sub-protocol support
Auto-reconnect with configurable attempts
Connection status monitoring
Quick connection presets for popular servers

Message Handling

Send and receive WebSocket messages

Send text and JSON messages
Real-time message logging
Filter messages by type (sent, received, error, system)
Search through message history
Export messages to JSON

Performance Metrics

Monitor connection health and performance

Real-time latency tracking
Message count statistics
Error monitoring and reporting
Connection uptime tracking
Visual health indicators

Advanced Testing

Comprehensive testing capabilities

Predefined test scenarios (ping-pong, JSON, binary, load)
Stress testing with configurable parameters
Message templates for common scenarios
Performance benchmarking tools
Custom test scenario creation

Usage Guide

Connection Panel

Configuration Options

URL: Enter the WebSocket server URL (e.g., wss://echo.websocket.org)
Reconnect Attempts: Number of reconnection attempts (0-10)
Reconnect Interval: Time between attempts (500ms - 10s)
Auto Reconnect: Toggle automatic reconnection

Quick Connect Presets

Echo Server: wss://echo.websocket.org - Echoes back all messages
Postman Echo: wss://ws.postman-echo.com/raw - Postman's echo service
SocketsBay Demo: wss://socketsbay.com/wss/v2/1/demo/ - Demo WebSocket server

Example Workflows

Testing a Chat Application

Connect to your WebSocket server URL
Use the "Authentication" template to send login credentials
Use the "Subscribe" template to join a chat room
Send test chat messages using the "Chat Message" template
Monitor the Metrics tab for latency and error rates

Testing Real-time Data Streaming

Connect to your data stream WebSocket endpoint
Run the Ping/Pong test to verify connection stability
Use the Load Test scenario to check high message volume handling
Filter message logs to view received data only
Export message history for further analysis

Tips & Best Practices

Do

Use WSS for production connections
Test with echo servers first
Monitor latency during testing
Use stress tests in staging environments
Export logs for debugging

Don't

Don't stress test production servers
Don't ignore error messages
Don't use WS for sensitive data
Don't skip connection testing
Don't forget to disconnect when done
