Why Performance…? • Does the application respond quickly enough for the intended users? • Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond? • Will the application handle the number of transactions required by the business? • Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads? • Are you sure that users will have a positive experience on go-live day?
Performance failure = Lost revenue • Yahoo News : Fri Jun 6, 2008 4:50 PM ET • Amazon Inc US website was down for about 2 hours • Impact : Amazon Shares fell 4.59 percent • Internet Business News: July 27,2006 • Australia's JetStar airline website crashed as too many users went online to take advantage of holiday promotions.
Define Stress/Load/Performance Testing • Stress Testing: Stress Testing is done in order to check when the application fails by varying the system resources such as RAM, HDD etc. and keeping the number of users as constant. • Load Testing: Load Testing is done in order to check when the application fails by increasing the number of users and keeping the system resources as constant. • Performance Testing: The term Performance can mean measuring response time, number of hits , resource utilization, or some other system characteristic( or group of them), by varying the number of users.
Performance Testing Tools • HP-LoadRunner • Compuware-QA Load • IBM-Rational Performance Tester • Borland-Silk Performer
Key Benefits • Obtain an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance • Verify that new or upgraded applications meet your specified performance requirements • Identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks during the development lifecycle • Reduce production downtime and poor application performance
Controller VuGen LoadRunner Analysis LoadRunner Components
LoadRunner Components The Virtual User Generator captures end-user business processes and creates an automated performance testing script, also known as a virtual user script
LoadRunner Components The Controller organizes, drives, manages, and monitors the load test.
LoadRunner Components The Analysis helps you view, dissect, and compare the performance results.
