Model-based performance testing
Abstract
In this paper, we present a method for performance testing of transactional systems. The methods models the system under test, finds the software and hardware bottlenecks and generate the workloads that saturate them. The framework is adaptive, the model and workloads are determined during the performance test execution by measuring the system performance, fitting a performance model and by analytically computing the number and mix of users that will saturate the bottlenecks.
