The
following are the basic set of requirements for performance testing of any
application:
A. Application Questionnaire
1.
Description
of the Application, various modules (if application is structured in a modular
fashion), its functionalities, etc. The points to be covered are: -
- General
Description, Functional flow of the application.
- System
Architecture (Communication flow)
- Interface
Description (if the system architecture involves interfacing to other
subsystems)
- Technical architecture of application under
test with various
technologies involved in the design of the application and other
subsystems.
3.
Various
protocols (ex: web, Siebel, oracle ..etc) supported (any specific
proprietary protocols, if expected to be supported should be
- If the application has been developed provide the
URL of an environment close to the production environment on which tests
could be performed.
- Platforms/OS/Database
supported/recommended for the product/application.
- List
of frequently used functionalities in the application/system/product.
- List
of business critical functionalities in the application/system/.
- Workload
Model for the application system
(This involves the description of
the usage of various functionalities/modules of the application/system/product
in the production or real environment. More particularly, the number of users
using various functionalities or modules of the application/system in a day or
over a period of time) what are the various profiles and their frequency of
activities on the site? Also provide the peak load that can be expected from
each user profile and the duration for which the peak load is to be
maintained.
9.
Whether the SLA’s have been defined? Please provide the
SLA’s details
10. What
is the maximum concurrent users using the site?
11. What
is the maximum load that you want to generate on the system?
12. If the application is already in
production what is the user profile (Peak hour load, Normal hour load).
- Are
there any monitoring over
firewalls and /or remote load generator builds
- Please
mention details of monitoring, e.g. oracle and web/app servers
- Any
benchmark available for the performance of the application functions or
subsystems
- Baseline
details (Client expectations)
B. Engagement
Questionnaire:
Tentative Start
Date of the Project
A.
Planned
Completion Date of the Project
C.
Tool Questionnaire:
A. Does the client has licensed tool
for performance testing, If yes please provide the details of the tool.
B. If the Client has license for
Load runner tool, are Load Generators placed at different regions?
(To simulate real time load)
C. Does client has remote desktop
software so that users can access the machines located at?
D. Resources
Questionnaire:
A. Does the client will provide DBA
support/Infra/Dev/Web admin during the execution of Load test?
B. Number of Resources required at
Onsite and Offshore.
D. Define
Pass / Fail Criteria (What
is acceptable performance parameter)
F. Contacts for
Issues and escalations:
(Infra
team, Database team, Dev team, Web admin team)
G. Comments (If
Any)
