Guidelines for Performance Testing Load/Volume testing

Typically, performance is stated as a measure of response time, throughput and/or resource usage, as measured under various c

· Different workloads and/or system conditions · Different use cases · Different configurations The test will be conducted to do measurements during progressive load and determine if the system can endure loads similar to continuous duration of time. The results of these tests would give symptoms of slowness and facilitate bottleneck analysis The Load test also measures the capability of an application to function correctly under load, by measuring transaction respons various time critical transactions and business processes and ensure that they are within the expectation. Approach - Determine the serviceability of the system for a volume of x concurrent users. - Measure response times for users. Steps The following details need to be identified in the traversal document.

Idenify frequently used business scenarios,Risk scenarios with the helf of Business team. Identified scenario get approval fro gather previous performance issues and design scenarios) 1. Virtual users estimation: Arrive at a maximum number of concurrent users hitting the system where the system response ti threshold and the system is stable. This number would be the virtual user number and should be higher by a factor of x times th 2. Virtual users profiles and their distribution for client operations: Identify the transactions/scenarios performed by each us Usage Profile is available with the Business side rather than the Development Side (Meet the right people) 3. Load simulation schedule: Design the schedule for concurrent user testing with a mix of users and the number of iterations cyclically repeated starting with x number and than progressively approach y and measure the system response time. Define intervals of the load.

Endurance testing Objective Validate systems behavior for Continuous Hours of Operation (CHO) for projected load conditions Approach Endurance testing – check resource usage and release namely; CPU, Memory, Disk I/O and network (T continuous hours of operation Determine the robustness - check for breakages in the web server, application server and data base serve Steps 1. Arrive at a base line configuration of the web server and application server resources i.e. CPU, RAM an and reliability test. 2. The test would be stopped when one of the components breaks. A root cause analysis is to be carried ou described under the server side monitoring section. Client side monitoring Failure rate -- web server responses/timeouts/exceptions and incomplete page downloads Response time degradation under peak load numbers (concurrent users) Server side monitoring

-

Collect CPU, Disk and Memory usage for analysis Check for application server slow down/freeze/crash Check for resource contention/deadlocks Database server load and slow down Web server crashes, application server logs for exceptions, resource deadlocks Collect data for analysis to tune the performance of web server, application server and database server If there is an alarm support in the tool through an agent, check for alerts when the activity level exceeds If there is a load balancing configuration deployed, check if it is able to distribute the requests.

Result

The result of this test will be a proof of confidence for Continuous Hours of Operation. The data collected in this phase wou reliability of the system and fix any configuration, component parameters for reliable performance.

Stress testing Objective Verify if the software reaches breaking point during low resources, contentions and excessive demands of resources in Approach

Increase the load on the system beyond the maximum design load until the system fails for want of resources and/or c resources (shared memory, queues, socket connections)

Run iterative load tests that demand resources and look for component breakdowns. The components can be the softw application server.

Repeat test if the failure rate is high with additional resources to eliminate resource bottlenecks/contentions Steps Design test cases that o involve high frequency of virtual users e.g.: searches, large queries o do large number of simultaneous operations e.g.: registrations o activate more than one process competing for the same resource. o require maximum memory o cause excessive hunting for disk-resident data, high I/O o large number of slow virtual users connecting which results in large number of socket connections Record system response time for each permutation of the stress test case/s Record resource utilization and statistics for root cause analysis/bottleneck analysis Repeat tests if there is a component break down and check if this condition repeats Add additional resources e.g.: Memory, Kernel parameters etc., to see if the break down can be overcom Result The result of this test will list the configuration and will be a measure of the systems robustness to hand
