Performance Testing
Overview
- Dedicated performance testing group
- Establish a performance profile for our client's applications
- Measure response times, transaction rates and other time-sensitive requirements
- To determine end to end timing (benchmarking) of various time critical business processes and transactions
- Identify the bottlenecks
- Fine tune to ensure the acceptable response times
Process
Honeywell follows 7 steps process:
Objectives :
- Measuring the end user response time
- Checking reliability
- Measuring system capacity
- Identifying bottlenecks
Goals :
- To verify that performance requirements have been achieved.
- Performance test results may also be compared with test results from prior versions of the software or other implementations to evaluate whether performance has improved or degraded as a result of revisions made.
Approach
- Evaluate the business transactions (end-user or other activity) conducted within application
- Write complete automation scripts for identified scenarios
- Write complete automation scripts for identified scenarios
- Monitor servers, applications, and database
- Provide performance test reports describing the capabilities and limitations of the system
- Investigate impact of user traffic on applications and systems
- Analyze client and system performance counters and detect bottlenecks
- Formulate and provide a detailed performance test report which includes client side metrics and server side metrics
