Performance and Automation Testing using Apache Jmeter for Agile Environment

Contents • Performance testing • Agile methodology • Automated testing • JMeter 2/20/2010 First Draft 2

What are the pain points ? 14% Reliability issues: connection drop issues 19% over a period of time. Load test at module level. 16% Scalability in terms of Number of users handled by the system. 18% Quick comparison of Performance test results across OS Platforms. Load test at the functional level. 16% 17% (Based on survey conducted at BMC Software) PSR testing for Quick POCs.

PROCESS • Write code( 1- 6 months) • Compile code • Send it to QA (or Production ?) • Performance Regression • PANIC ! No Performance Testing !

A BETTER WAY • Write code • CI compiles code and runs test • Send it to QA ( or Production?) • Performance Regression • PANIC ! No Performance Testing !

A BETTER WAY 2.0 • Performance test artifacts as soon as they pass Unit and Functional testing • Fast feedback for developers • No Surprises

Warm Up • Performance testing • Agile methodology • Automated testing 2/20/2010 First Draft 7

It’s your turn • Performance testing • Agile methodology • Automated testing 2/20/2010 First Draft 8

Performance testing • To determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular workload . 2/20/2010 First Draft 9

“ What cannot be measured, cannot be improved.” 2/20/2010 First Draft 10

Performance Testing

JMeter • What is JMeter • Who can use JMeter • Where can we use JMeter • When can we use JMeter • Why to use JMeter • How to use JMeter 2/20/2010 First Draft 12

JMeter • What is JMeter – Background – History 2/20/2010 First Draft 13

JMeter • Who can use JMeter – Dev and QA Using open source tools for performance testing Presenter: Goranka Bjedov

JMeter • Where can we use JMeter 2/20/2010 First Draft 15

JMeter • When can we use JMeter - Know how the system responds to work load - Pound system with simultaneous requests - Performance - Scalability - Reliability – PSR tests on the quick POCs. – Use in AGILE – Use other tools that complement JMeter, e.g. Perfmon 2/20/2010 First Draft 16

Why JMeter • Catch performance regressions quickly • Simplify the hunting of bugs • Code with confidence • Know the performance cost of features • Go home on time

It’s Demo Time • JMeter and JUnit • JMeter and database query testing • JMeter and Web based Flex Performance testing 2/20/2010 First Draft 18

Performance Testing of Flex Web Application • AMF - Action Message Format (AMF) binary format used to serialize ActionScript objects • To performance test flex web app, need to generate required amf file first.

Distributed Testing

It’s your turn • Performance testing • Agile methodology • Automated testing 2/20/2010 First Draft 21

Automated Testing 1. Integration with CI tools - Ant Target - HTML Report Generation

Comparisons, Alternatives, Conclusions • Shortcomings of JMeter • Conclusions 2/20/2010 First Draft 23
