Methodology
Set up the performance testing environment.
Platform
Map it (Performance Testing Environment.odg)- get a diagram that shows:
- Hosts (names, IP addresses/subnet masks, external ports).
- Represent all network interfaces and their connectivity to various networks. It helps to understand how the hosts are interconnected - on the diagram.
- Represent processes
- Load Agent
- Proxy
- Application Server
- Database
- Document the procedures to stop/start the processes - some load tests may need the processes to be completed shut down and restarted. Usually there's an "Environment" document associate with the environment where all these procedures are documented.
- If the target are Windows machines, it's a good idea to install Cygwin - it'll improve productivity and provide a lot of good tools.
- Annotate the environment diagram with the RAM and CPU amount on each host.
Application Server
- Represent the database connection pools and the connections to their respective databases.
Distribute in the Right Place
- Put in place monitoring for CPU, physical RAM, open file descriptors and other system resources.
