Load Test Analysis Tool

The Load test Analysis Tool

• Business applications need to be load tested prior to deployment in production supporting the business users
• Each application has non-functional requirements (NFR) for performance, most are for response time
• A load test simulates the major business functions and collects metrics on the application response times
• The pass/fail criteria is 90% of all transactions must complete with in the NFR, with less than 5% errors.
• The Load Test Analysis Tool analyzes the detail of these test results

• Data import *
• Report the raw data and summary stats for the tests
• Trim outliers from the raw data
• Generate diagnostic plots for each transaction:
  • Distribution of all data
  • Distribution of trimmed data
  • Time series of when the transactions occurred during the test, highlighting the “trimmed” data points.
  • Transaction per sample period.

Note: : DUE TO COMPLICATIONS WITH RUNNING ON A SHARED SERVER I ELECTED TO USE ONE DATASET IMBEDED IN THE CODE.

The Raw Data is collected from each load test

The data has the following format:

1. row_num: a sequence number
2. scenario_elasped_time: the time in the test when the transaction started.
3. trans_resp_time: the duration of the transaction
4. trans_name: the name of the transaction

A statistical summary is provided for each transaction:

• Compares the full data to the trimmed data
• Can be filtered by the transaction name
• The summaries can be sorted by each statistic

Plots like the following are provided
