Hello, I've been working on a "big bang" rewrite for, literally, over two years. The management has consistently and relentlessly ignored and belittled my calls to allocate time / resources for performance measurement, capacity planning, and optimization before the app replaces their mega-millions money maker flagship web app. Finally, ...
I want to perform some empirical trade-off's to assess the performance of applications written in a number of different languages on a Linux platform. Are there standard algorithms that typically used for this purpose? ...
We currently use LoadRunner for performance testing our web apps, but we also have some server side processes we need to test. Background: We call these processes our "engines". One engine receives messages by polling an IBM WebSpere MQ queue for messages. It takes a message off the queue, processes it, and puts the result on an outbou...
I want to do some timing tests on a Java application. This is what I am currently doing: long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); doSomething(); long finishTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); System.out.println("That took: "+(finishTime-startTime)+ " ms"); Is there anything "wrong" with performance testing like this? What is a...
Hi All, We are using watir and integrated with VS 2008 using ruby in steel and we have automated our web application and it awsome. Is there way to use the same script to do the performance testing or is there any better tool. ...
Keep in mind that I am a rookie in the world of sql/databases. I am inserting/updating thousands of objects every second. Those objects are actively being queried for at multiple second intervals. What are some basic things I should do to performance tune my (postgres) database? ...
When comparing the performance of operations this is how I would typicaly do the tests: <?php $w = 'world'; $start1 = microtime(true); for($i=0;$i<10000;$i++) echo 'Hello ' . $w . '!'; $end1 = microtime(true); $start2 = microtime(true); for($i=0;$i<10000;$i++) echo "Hello $w!"; $end2 = microtime(true); $start3 = microtime(true...
I am writing a python script that will perform performance test in linux file system. so besides deadlocks, race conditions and time takes to perform an action (delete, read, write and create) what other variables/parameters should the test contain? ...
I'm currently doing performance and load testing of a complex many-tier system investigating the effect of different changes, but I'm having problems keeping track of everything: There are many copies of different assemblies Orignally released assemblies Officially released hotfixes Assemblies that I've built containing further additi...
Currently to performance test code that I write, I have to create some sort of separate throw away executable and set up the timing manually. I really like how the unit testing is built into VS so that I don't have to write a separate executable to get information. Is there anything similar for performance testing? If not, does anyone kn...
OK, I am writing performance tests and am having trouble getting my session to persist like it does in integration tests. As I understand it, PerformanceTest is a child of IntegrationTest and any integration tests should work with performance test. However, when I take a integration test and copy it over to performance, change the Acti...

Has anyone ever had to run performance tests on a ClickOnce application? I have engaged with a vendor who had trouble setting up their toolset with our software because it is Smart Client based. They are understandably more geared toward purely browser-based applications. I wonder if anyone has had to tackle this before and if so would ...
I'm trying to run a blank default performance test with Ruby 1.9 and Rails 2.3.5 and I just can't get it to work! What am I missing here??? rails testapp cd testapp script/generate scaffold User name:string rake db:migrate rake test:benchmark - /usr/local/bin/ruby19 -I"lib:test" "/usr/local/lib/ruby19/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/...
For regressions tests we use soapUI, which seems to be a valid and useful performance / load test tool as well. However, are there even more advanced load generators especially for web service testing - maybe with reporting features similar to HP LoadRunner? ...
Hi, I'm trying to develop a small application that test how many requests per second can my service support but I think I'm doing something wrong. The service is in an early development stage, but I'd like to have this test handy in order to check in time to time I'm not doing something that decrease the performance. The problem is that...
I would like to performance testing a Rails app. The real world data is 100 MB in size. But Rails always rebuilds the test database, which overwrites the real world data. So how to the performance testing? ...
Do any Scala testing libraries help with performance tests? Can't find anything relevant in ScalaTest or specs. ...
Hi all, I wonder if it is possible to run performance testing based on xUnit? ...
Hi, I know there some experienced loadRunner users around so I would like to ask (as I was not able to find the answer on my own): Is the content checking available only for webpages? I mean, I cannot check for content in win32 apps, right? Thank you! ...
