BEFORE, DURING AND AFTERTHE HOLIDAYS

The Online Market You are here!

Cyber Monday 2011 • $1.3B • 33% y/y growth in traffic • 10.8% is Mobile (3.9% last year)

iCommerce: Biggest Mobile Influence

The IT Landscape Has ChangedWhat is “Peak Load”?• 100%, 200%...500%+?• How much mobile traffic should we prepare for…and how?What Are The Most Important Transactions?• What are the most profitable paths users follow?• What is the affect of non-buying “browsing” on paying customers?What System Do You Test In?• Is the lab good enough?• Production testing is taboo (isn’t it)?How Will You Find The Issues?• Complexity reigns• How do we see where issues are at load?

The IT Landscape Has ChangedWhat is “Peak Load”?• You must to test to new limits with a mix of web and mobile trafficWhat Are The Most Important Transactions?• Those that you determine as profitable, complex and/or riskyWhat System Do You Test In?• Testing is a continuous process from the lab to live productionHow Will You Find The Issues?• Monitoring during tests for the the end-to-end view while tests run

BEST PRACTICES

Monitoring best practice 1“Assume Nothing” Oops. A production server! UAT Environment topology autodetected

Monitoring best practice 2 Visibility explains REAL phenomenasSpecific transactiontype is failingSpecific location isfailing

Monitoring best practice 2Visibility explains REAL phenomenas It is pretty easy to see the load balance mismatch You can see that the % Time spent between User and Data Center is the issue here When compared Or the %Time to % Time spent spent rendering within the Data on the user’s Center device

Monitoring best practice 3Baseline and compare Compare application model of 100% load vs. 150% of load

Testing best practice 1• Start early & test progressively. – Begin in development – Run many iterative tests that address performance from code though infrastructure – Finish in production (Live prod to really be sure)

Testing best practice 2• Test realistically. – Model users acting like humans – Stress & measure at a realistic pace – Run at true scale – From different locations and devices

Testing best practice 3• Seek a single source of performance truth. – Get Dev & Ops on the same page. (Is 2 seconds okay?) – Measure with the same tools in Dev, Test & Ops – Correlate monitoring data with test data as tests run

Thankfully, There is a Solution SharePath identifies critical transactions to test what matters most CloudTest enables testing to any level with web or mobile traffic – in lab or production environments Monitor critical metrics during and after tests to isolate and prevent production outages

Summary• The IT Landscape has changed• Start your testing early, test progressively, and test realistically• When monitoring critical applications, assume nothing, look for root cause phenomena, use baselines, and compare• SharePath and CloudTest provide an integrated solution
