19. Performance/Load Testing

20. Use cases for Performance / Load Testing
• Pre-go-live validation of application’s ability to meet
performance SLAs
• Benchmark maximum operating capacity (Throughput,
concurrent connections, average response time, etc.,) of the
system under both steady-state and peak load conditions.
• Identify performance bottlenecks on application, database
and infrastructure that could potentially cause performance
degradations.
• Sizing & planning the production infrastructure needed for
the system’s optimal performance.
• Measuring Scaling Limits and Potential Break Points of the
system
• Continuous Improvement and system maintenance.

21. Load Test Design Considerations
• Type of Application to be load tested – The load test design may vary depending on the
type of application. For example, an application can be any of the following types:
internet –based consumer applications, Transactional / workflow based systems, CMS
systems, Batch Processing Applications etc., Each of these types of application will
require a different approach and thought process when designing the load test.
• Typical and Peak Load Expectations: Understanding the expected load traffic under both
typical as well as peak load conditions is a key design consideration for load tests. This
enables the team to select the right load generator tools for the given application under
test.
• Baselined Performance Metrics : It is important to lay down clearly what the key
performance metrics to be tracked, monitored and base-lined are. This enables the team
to select the right monitoring tools for the right data.

22. Load Test Design Considerations
• Technical and Deployment Architectures: The production architecture of the system
under test is a key design consideration. For example various architectural elements such
as server clustering, 2 / 3 tier architecture, Use of CDNs, Database replication / sharing
set up, etc., will introduce different considerations when designing the load test.
• Simulating Geographically distributed user load : Real users may be geographically
distributed across different continents all over the world. It is important for the load test
to mimic the real world user traffic as closely as possible by generating a geographically
distributed load.

23. Tools & Platforms
1. Apache Jmeter
2. Amazon Web Services
3. Apache Benchmark (ab)
4. 3rd Party Services (Saucelabs, Blazemeter)
5. APM Solutions (New Relic, AppDynamics)
6. Custom scripts for capturing custom metrics
Tools and Technologies

24. Methodology and Approach
The above time estimates are based on a typical experience. This may vary
depending on the exact nature of application involved.

25. Deliverables
1. Load Test Plan
• Load test objectives, metrics to be captured and test procedures to be executed
• Test Infrastructure Plan
2. Load Test Scripts
• Recorded and validated load test scripts
3. Load Test Report and Recommendations
• Performance benchmark metrics of the application under test
• Recommended Infrastructure size for production
• Projected Cost of infrastructure and Cost-to-Performance ratio.

26. Automated Testing using Selenium
and other Innovative Frameworks

27. Selenium Automation Experience
• Actively deployed Selenium as automation tool of choice across 75% of our
EDCs.(Extended Development Centers)
• Strong Java/J2EE based test automation experience.
• Developed our own Selenium-based automation framework using Selenium,
TestNG, jUnit, ANT integrating all best practices.
• Java Developer resources assigned to Selenium development with experience
in OOAD, Agile development, etc.

We have developed our own Selenium-based automation framework

28. Selenium + TestNG Based Automation - Key Highlights
• Modularized Test Suites and Test
Scripts with automated test bed
set up.
• Backed by Selenium RC Server
for Test scripting in standard
languages like Java, Python,
Ruby.
• Integrated with TestNG, Junit for
easy grouping of test suites and
test scripts.

29. Innovative Testing Framework using Fitnesse, Xebium & Monkeytalk
• The idea was to create an environment where a Business
Analyst can understand what a Test Engineer is testing and so
can the customer. To create an environment where customers
or Business Analysts should be able to create their own
acceptance test cases with little or no help from the test
engineer.
• We found out that most of the components were already in
place and just needed a glue to fit them together. Fitnesse,
Xebium and Monkeytalk were what we bumped into.
• More information in our blog here.

41. Case Study – eMids
Key Challenges
• Short Term Intervention Program
 Focused Short Term Regression Test Automation intervention program.
 Application was in production. No major feature changes were expected. Customer wanted to reduce
the periodic regression test cycle time by at least 50%.
 7 key modules were identified. Close to 300 test cases were automated within a short period of time.
• No documentation
 Detailed Documentation of the application feature description was not available.
 For the 7 modules identified as candidates for automation, the team performed a thorough analysis
and documented all key test cases. The test cases and scenarios were signed off by the customer.
• Zero Prior Automation
 As there were no automated cases, the team started by developing an Automation Framework using
Selenium and jUnit, that can be flexible, extensible and maintainable.
 Test Cases were organized into a comprehensive suite which can be triggered using an ANT target
during build time. Thus, every time a new build was generated, the entire automation suite was
executed and the results were recorded and analyzed.

43. Load Testing Success Stories – KEH
About the Client: Founded in the year 1979 in Atlanta, USA, KEH is the world’s largest dealer of used
photographic (digital and film) products. KEH lets anyone in any corner of the world sell or trade equipment with
a global customer base.
Approach: The staging environment served as the test bed for all performance tests conducted in this project.
JMeter was used to generate the load required. 1 Amazon EC2 small instance in US Zone acted as the JMeter
controller. 5 Amazon EC2 small instances in US Zone acted as JMeter agents. Both the Application Server and the
Database server were configured with monitoring systems (Monyog, Manage Engine - App Manager) that
captured CPU, Memory, Disk usage, Number of connections etc.
Insights:
• Even at high load of 37500 users, the application home page responded at an average time of 20ms.
• Based on the average response time of 20 ms, we predict that the home page can sustain a load of up to
50,000 users ramping up in 1000 seconds. i.e, up to 50 concurrent users.
• There is always a clean throughput. Meaning requests do not queue up at the server end.
• The number of open DB connections remain untouched. Meaning, the database Is not impacted by the home
page hits. All home page requests are served from the server cache without accessing the database.
Recommendations Provided:
• Presently an order is at least 10 clicks away for all users. We can look at optimizing the order submit flow.
• Review the IIS connections setting and the Database connections setting to tune it according to expected user
traffic.
• Consider setting Up sufficient monitoring during application failure / ISS server failure.
