Application Performance Testing - Beginner Question

First, I want to apologize, because i'm sure this is answered somewhere already. I have searched and searched, but fear that I am not searching for the right terms. I have never really done testing before, and was hoping someone could point me in the right
direction.
Basically, I have an application (client side/not web) made in Visual Studio (C# Winforms) and I want to test it and determine how much time is being spent in each method, hoping this will narrow down where the slow downs are being created.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

Hi Firemaple109,
I feel that the test is not a solution for this issue, I suggest you use certain tool like the VS Profiler tool to really collect the time of every functions.

Iterative application performance test

Hi all,
I have few 3D application with Java3D API and I have to do statistics about everyone - average heap-memory, average fps, average cpu usage. I used Fraps adn JConsole for my stuff and they together can monitor what I need and export informations to file. Ok.
But now here's my problem. I have to start every of my applications 100x and then create summary statistics. When I have 7 applications, it means I have 700x start application, 700x start Fraps frames capturing and 700x connect JConsole to application and then save cpu usage cvs and heap-memory csv. You see this isn't nice job. And I have to do this on 3 diffent computers.
So here is my question - is there any software or something what provides me some automatic tests? Something where I defined "Start this app for 2 minutes, monitor cpu, memory, fps (or where I can manage to invoke some key event), save it to file xyz and then repeat"?

I'd approach it like this:
1.) measure the FPS yourself in your app and expose it in a MBean
2.) Write a (really small) app that starts your 3D app, connects to it via JMX (that's the same thing JConsole does) and periodically queries the data from the MBeans (memory, cpu, ... from the sun mbeans, fps from your own)
3.) lett the small app from 2. repeat the process 200 times.
The small testing app should be very quick to write. I don't know of something that already does that from the top of my head.

Performance test on MVC application

Hi All,
By using Visual Studio Performance tool, how can we test ASP.Net MVC application.
When we open our MVC application basically it is loading very slow
Can we get the below information by using Visual Studio Performance tool.
1. How the controller is getting the input and passing it to the model for the retrieving the data.
2. How can we see the performance of the controller passing the input to the service and getting the information and passing it to the view
We want to the observe where exactly the delay is happening.
We also have many java script functions written in the code.
Please help me in providing the following information.
Thanks
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your post.
Generally, I know that the VS Performance tool: load test is used to expect usage of a software program by simulating multiple users who access the program at the same time.
The load test consist of a series of Web performance tests which operate under multiple simulated users over a period of time.
For more information:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd293540(v=vs.110).aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn250793.aspx
Load tests provide named counter sets, they are useful when you analyze performance counter data. The counter sets include ASP.NET, so when you create a load test with the Load Test Wizard, you add an initial set of counters.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404676.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404704.aspx
After you run this load test, you can use the load test analyzer to view your load test data and analyze your load test to locate bottlenecks, identify errors, and measure improvements in your application.

Performance Testing Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application

Hi All
Has anyone performance tested Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application ( RDF ) using LoadRunner? If yes can you please give me the protocol used and steps followed for scripting ?
Thanks

What is your application release?Our Application Release is 12.1.3
How do you get the error?The error occurs during playback in which I am getting a "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active" error. In addition, it states "- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed."
Can you post an example of "most of the correlation that is being referenced throughout the internet seemed to contain NCA functions"?
This was the link I was referring to http://martinspier.co.uk/how-to-script-oracle-11i-apps-on-loadrunner. I don't have the current knowledge in the differences between 11i at the intricate level but it seemed like when I accessed our 11i environment, the login portion is also http/https protocol. From what I noticed though that some of the oracle forms (i.e. payments module) have been converted to Webforms. So I was thinking from a login testing standpoint, the use of this tutorial would still be applicable. However, I just checked the Test Starter Kit Information Center (Note 239746.1) that Steven Chan provided and have downloaded their sample login script for 12.0.4. It seemed that they used the same multi NCA, WEB protocol but login information captured seemed to be capturing http requests only.
Thanks in advance Hussein and for anyone else who can chime in on this task. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I understand am new to not only Loadrunner but Oracle Financial Applications as well.

Load & Performance testing of VB applications

How we can perform load & performance testing of VB6 applications? Are there any tools available for same?

You could look at something like this:
http://www.aholme.co.uk/Profiler/Install.htm
However VB6 as a development environment is no longer supported by Microsoft and this forum is not for VB6 questions, but VB.NET questions.

UI performance testing of pivot table

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a tool that I can use to do performance testing on a pivot table. I am populating a pivot table(declaratively) with a data source of over 100,000 cells and I need to record the browser rendering time of the pivot table using 50 or so parallel threads(requests). I tried running performance tests using JMeter, but that didn't help.
This is what I tried so far with JMeter:
I deployed the application in the integratedweblogicserver and specify the Url to hit in JMeter ( http://127.0.0.1:7101/PivotTableSample-ViewController-context-root/faces/Sample) and added a response assertion for the response code 200. Although I am able to hit the url successfully, the response I get is a javascript with a message that says "This is the loopback script to process the url before the real page loads. It introduces a separate round trip". When I checked in firebug, it looks like request redirect of some sort happens from this javascript to another Url (with some randomly generated parameters) which then returns the html response of the pivot table. I am unable to hit that Url directly as I get a message saying "session expired". It looks like a redirect happens from the first request and then session is created for that request and a redirect occurs.
I am able to check the browser rendering time of the pivot table in firebug (.net tab), but that is only for a single request. I'd appreciate it if anyone could guide me on this.
Thanks
Naveen

I found the link below that explains configuration of JMeter for performance testing of ADF applications(Although I couldn't find a solution to figure out the browser rendering time for parallel threads).

Performance testing of servlets / beans / jsp ?

Hi. I'd like to performance test my applications, anyone have a clue on what software to use?
I use Fort� for Java CE 3 as the IDE and TomCat 3.23 as the servlet / jsp container.
Hopefully there are some opensource tools to use for this?
Regards,
Chris

You can precompile JSP's, this removes the small hickup when they are requested the first time (making the server translate and compile them). Check the documentation of your specific web/application server on how to do this.
Otherwise:
- buy better hardware
- use a better application server
- make sure your network is properly configured (so packets don't get routed around the network four times before they reach their destination for example)
- make sure your program logic doesn't create bottlenecks such as
unnecessary HTTP requests, redundant loops, etc.
- optimize your database access, use connection pooling
- optimize your database queries. Create indexes, make sure the SQL queries themselves aren't doing unnecessary trips around the database, etc.

Can Web Performance Test work on AJAX or Javascript Project which will show only one URL for all the pages?

Hi there,
I'm working on testing a AJAX and JavaScript Project which has several pages but all in the same URL. I need to test some attribute on the page or parameter past by AJAX or Javascript. Can Web Performance Test work to get what I want?
Thanks,

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Web performance test is used to test if a server responses correctly and the response is consistent with what we expected. And we test the response speed, the stability and scalability.
The Web Performance Test Recorder records both AJAX requests and requests that were submitted from JavaScript, but
web test does not execute JavaScript. I am afraid that you can’t use web test to test parameter past by AJAX or JavaScript.
Please see:
Web Performance Test Engine Overview
About JavaScript and ActiveX Controls in Web Performance Tests
From the first link, “Client-side scripting that sets parameter values or results in additional HTTP requests, such as AJAX, does affect the load on the server and might require you to manually modify the Web Performance Test to simulate the scripting.”
If you want to execute the function typically performed by script in web test, you need to accomplish it in coded web performance test or a web performance test plugin. Please see:
How to: Create a Coded Web Performance Test
How to: Create a Web Performance Test Plug-In
I am not sure what the ‘some attribute on the page’ is. If you mean that you want to test those controls on the page, you can do coded UI test, which can test that the user interface for an application functions correctly. The coded UI test performs actions
on the user interface controls for an application and verifies that the correct controls are displayed with the correct values. You can refer to this article for detailed information about code UI test:

Performance Testing - Upgrade from 4.6B to ECC6.0

Hi,
We are doing an upgrade from SAP 4.6B to ECC6.0. I would like to know what would be the best approach for doing a performance test in an upgrade project. More specifically,
1. What are the main components that need to be tested for performance?
2. What are the important transaction codes/external applications (if any) that can be used to do performance testing in both 4.6B and ECC6.0? (ST05 or ST30 or something else?)
3. Any best practice recommended by SAP for doing performance tests?
Thanks in Advance,
Reena

FORMS CRASHES (FRM-92101) ON AS 10.1.2.0.2 DURING LOAD PERFORMANCE TESTING

Hiya
We have been doing Load Performance Testing using testing tool QALoad on our Forms 10g application. After about 56 virtual users(sessions) have logged-in into our application, if a new user tries to log-in into our application, the Forms crashes. As soon as we encounter the FRM-92101 error, no more new forms session are able to start.
The Load Testing software start up each process very quickly, about every 10 seconds.
The very first form that appears is the login form of our application. So before the login screen appears, we get FRM-92101 error message.
However, those users who have already logged-in into our application, they are able to carry on their tasks.
We are using Application Server 10g 10.1.2.0.2. I have checked the status on Application Server through Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. The OC4J Instance is up and running. Also, server's configuration is pretty good. It is running on 2 CPUs (AMD Opteron 3GHz) and has 32GB of memory. The memory used by those 56 sessions is less than 3GB.
The Applicatin Server is running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 64bit Enterprise Edition.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Shekhawat
In Windows Registry go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
In the right hand side panel, you will find String Value as Windows. Now double click on it (Windows). In the pop up window you will see a string similar to the following one:
%SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,20480,768 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
Now if you read it carefully in the above string, you will find this parameter
SharedSection=1024,20480,768
Here SharedSection specifies the system and desktop heaps using the following format:
SharedSection=xxxx,yyyy,zzzz
The default values are 1024,3072,512
All the values are in Kilobytes (KB)
xxxx = System-wide Heapsize. There is no need to modify this value.
yyyy = IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the IO Desktop.
zzzz = Non-IO Desktop Heapsize. This is the heap for memory objects in the Non-IO Desktop.
On our server the values were as follows :
1024,20480,768
We changed the size of Non-IO desktop heapsize from 768 to 5112. With 5112 KB we managed to test our application for upto 495 virtual users.
Cheers

ActiveX Control recording but not playing back in a VS 2012 Web Performance Test

I am testing an application that loads an Active X control for entering some login information. While recording, this control works fine and I am able to enter information and it is recorded. However on playback in the playback window it has the error "An
add-on for this website failed to run. Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts."
Window 7 OS 64 bit
IE 8 recorded on 32 bit version
I see no obvious security conflicts. This runs fine when navigating through manually and recording. It is only during playback where this error occurs.

Hi IndyJason,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
As you said that you could not playback the Active X control successfully in web performance test. I know that the ActiveX controls in your Web application will fall into three categories, depending on how they work at the HTTP level.
Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404678%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I found that this confusion may be come from the browser preview in the Web test result viewer. The Web Performance Test Results Viewer does not allow script or ActiveX controls to run, because the Web performance test engine does not run the, and for security
reasons.
For more information, please you refer to this follwoing blog(Web Tests Can Succeed Even Though It Appears They Failed Part):

LabVIEW Embedded - Performance Testing - Different Platforms

Hi all,
I've done some performance testing of LabVIEW on various microcontroller development boards (LabVIEW Embedded for ARM) as well as on a cRIO 9122 Real-time Controller (LabVIEW Real-time) and a Dell Optiplex 790 (LabVIEW desktop). You may find the results interesting. The full report is attached and the final page of the report is reproduced below.

Analysis
For microcontrollers, single loop programming can retain almost 100% of the processing power. Such programming would require that all I/O is non-blocking as well as use of interrupts. Multiple loop programming is not recommended, except for simple applications running at loop rates less than 200 Hz, since the vast majority of the processing power is taken by LabVIEW/OS overhead.
For cRIO, there is much more processing power available, however approximately 70 to 80% of it is lost to LabVIEW/OS overhead. The end result is that what can be achieved is limiting.
For the Desktop, we get the best of both worlds; extraordinary processing power and high efficiency.
Speculation on why LabVIEW Embedded for ARM and LabVIEW Real-time performance is so poor puts the blame on excessive context switch. Each context switch typically takes 150 to 200 machine cycles and these appear to be inserted for each loop iteration. This means that tight loops (fast with not much computation) consume enormous amounts of processing power. If this is the case, an option to force a context switch every Nth loop iteration would be useful.

LabVIEW Desktop has many attractive features. This explain why LabVIEW Desktop is so successful and is the vast majority of National Instruments’ software sales (and consequently results in the vast majority of hardware sales). It is National Instruments’ flagship product and is the precursor to the other LabVIEW offerings. The execution platform is powerful, available in various form factors from various sources and is competitively priced.
LabVIEW Real-time on a cRIO/sb-RIO is a lot less attractive. To make this platform attractive the execution platform cost needs to be vastly decreased while increasing the raw processing power. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. A single plug-in board no larger than 75 x 50 mm (3” x 2”) with a single unit price under $180 would certainly make the sb-RIO a viable execution platform. The peripheral connectors would not be part of the board and would be accessible via a connector. A developer mother board could house the various connectors, but these are not needed when incorporated into the final product. The recently released Xilinx Zynq would be a great chip to use ($15 in volume, 2 x ARM Cortex A9 at 800 MHz (4,000 MIPS), FPGA fabric and lots more).
LabVIEW Embedded for ARM is very OEM friendly with development boards that are open source with circuit diagrams available. To make this platform attractive, new more capable Tier 1 boards will need to be introduced, mainly to counter the large LabVIEW/OS overhead. As before, these target boards would come from microcontroller manufacturers, thereby making them inexpensive and open source. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. What is required now is another Tier 1 boards (eg. DK-LM3S9D96 (ARM Cortex M3 80 MHz/96 MIPS)). Further Tier 1 boards should be targeted every two years (eg. BeagleBoard-xM (ARM Cortex A8 1000 MHz/2000 MIPS board)) to keep LabVIEW Embedded for ARM relevant.

I've got to say though, it would really be good if NI could further develop the ARM embedded toolkit.
In the industry I'm in, and probably many others, control algorithm development and testing oocurs in labview. If you have a good LV developer or team, you'll end up with fairly solid, stable and tested code. But what happens now, once the concept is validated, is that all this is thrown away and the C programmers create the embedded code that will go into the real product.
The development cycle starts from scratch.
It would be amazing if you could strip down that code and deploy it onto ARM and expect it to not be too inefficient. Development costs and time to market go way down.. BUT, but especially in the industry I presently work in, the final product's COST is extremely important. (These being consumer products, chaper micro cheaper product) .
These concerns weight HEAVILY. I didn't get a warm fuzzy about the ARM toolkit for my application. I'm sure it's got its niches, but just imagine what could happen if some more work went into it to make it truly appealing to wider market...
