Deploying Performance Testing Framework
Developing a framework depends on performance goals established earlier and business requirements.
Allocate adequate resources for running BusinessWorks™ container and testing its performance. Deploy BusinessWorks™ application container and start measuring application performance using any monitoring tool like JConsole/JVisualVM. Verify that your BW application running inside a container is providing the performance metrics, such as memory and CPU usage.
Deploy adequate hardware for running ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks software and testing its performance. Install ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, along with any optional external software for measuring application performance. Verify that your operating system includes a tool for measuring system resources, such as memory, physical disk, and CPU usage.
Once you have established the key performance matrix and determined the tools and techniques to measure the components, the next step is to establish an appropriate framework for testing performance.
Frequently, a customer would require building a script using third-party performance testing tools such as HP Load Runner, SilkPerformer or JMeter. These tools are frequently used to build extensible framework to invoke HTTP, SOAP, REST and JMS messages.
