Performance (Stress Testing) Simulation For Requests

Hi GRC Gurus,
I am looking for a solution for performing a stress test (for performance) for change requests in Access Control. This should be a repeatable process in order to ascertain if there are any bottlenecks in the processing, memmory etc. In normal SAP, e-CATT was one of the simpler solutions - how about GRC Access Control ?
regards
Mushtaq Mahmood

Only one suggestion from experience (due to the multi-fold use of GRC AC).
Try to get 10 volunteers to aggressively submit and approve access requests, perform risk analysis and perform firefighter sessions, i.e. get a through User Acceptance Test performed to get a "as-real" feel of the performance-stress on the system.
At my current client, we have got around 10 volunteers each in the Europe, Americas and Asia offices and UAT is being performed over a 2 weeks cycle to really hammer the system, both to ensure the configuration is correct and working as expected and also to monitor the performance of the system over the global company network.
Basis team are monitoring the performance of the processes and DB usage.

Is there stress testing software for the Mac?

I am looking for a stress-testing program for OSX. Something that would press a computer to it's limits and make it crash faster, if it's supposed to crash intermittently. Can anyone suggest such a program for the Macintosh?
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, T.M.
If you're looking to troubleshoot an intermittent problem that may be hardware-related, See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the Apple Hardware Test in troubleshooting, including running the test in Loop Mode.
There is also Xbench, a performance benchmarking tool.
More details as to what prompts your question might help.
Good luck!

Stress test tool for EBS

Hi Hsawwan, other EBS APPS dba's!
We are trying to predict some performance according future load on EBS. This is classic stress test techniques. We want to automate stress on APPS side and run some requests and forms as well....
With "Load runner" we have unsolvable problems....
What can we use for that?

Performance / Stress Testing E-Recruitment

Hi Experts,
I am curious if anyone has found a way to accurately stress test external candidate (or internal candidate) scenarios for e-recruitment. The tools we have used in the past have proven misleading, as they have suggested our environment would handle the load, only to find out after implementation that the system could not.
Any ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Shane

Hi Shane,
A tool like loadrunner works really well. If you used a similar tool but did not get expected results it may just be more of design / setup of your load test.
The key to the load test is to simulate it as much as possible as production scenario.
Your QA load system should have production like data. your test scripts being executed by the tool should simulate as close as possible to real user activity (like putting wait times between steps in the script, doing activities that update and create data, not just perform searches).
Putting other types of loads on the system - erecruitment never works in a vacuum in production, other users are using HR, potentially finance, etc... So other scripts should be loading the system (dialog users, background users) as "control" load, while your "variable" load - erecuritment is running.
just ideas...

Stress testing tools for SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft version

Hi all
I was wondering if there are any stress testing tools that can be used with SAP BPC 7.0 MS to simulate hundreds of users using the application simultaneously and thus testing the performance.
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

There are tools to perform the performance analysis of BPC, one is loadrunner. But be careful when defining the "hundreds of users using the application simultaneously"; There are many scenarios in my mind, where you could have several hundred users using BPC, but not sending or retrieving data at the exact same time. You might check the SAP sit eto see if any presentations are posted from the Sapphire conference this Spring.
Hope this helps.

Performance testing tools for Web shop

We have a requirement to perform some stress and volume testing for a web shop (using multi-user simulation).
I know LoadRunner is probably the best way to do that but is expensive and probably not justified for just one 4 month implementation project.
Has anybody performed such testing using other cheaper options ?
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Could you share the solution?
As know there is as BSP code /(HTMLB) where we
can show BSP response time. But this may not appropriate
tools to perform stress test.
Thanks,

Weblogic server terminated abnormally when doing web stress test

Hi folks,
I used MS Web Application Stress Test tool to test our web application deployed
on weblogic server 6.1 sp2. I set the tool to run with 20 threads concurrently.
And I recorded a script with 300 requests and there are 10 milliseconds delays
between each request. After running that test for one hour or so I got an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
The welogic server was dead. I had to kill that process to restart the server.
I tried this testing procedure serveral times. Sometimes I came across the same
problem, but sometimes didn't.
The machine running WL6.1 is a Red Hat Linux server with 2 CPU and 1 GB RAM.
Does someone knows why this occurs and how to prevent this problem?
Thanks to anyone who give me some advise.

Database base storage stress test

Hi,
I have a ucm 11g instance up and running with SSO.
I need to test database storage against filesystem storage.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test this?
Also I'm sure I read somewhere (but I can't find it now) that once I go in one direction I can't go back, does anyone have any details about this?
Many thanks
James

First of all, take a look at File Store Provider (here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings005.htm#CSMSP445)
In general, filesystem storage is always used even if you store data in the database, in the end. It is, though, understood as a temporary storage. In theory, you can keep your files in both locations and I see no reason why you should not be able to go from FS to DB and back, BUT you have to consider consequences (you might have to rebuild indexes or even migrate data from one storage to the other).
As for stress tests, first you have to decide WHAT you want to test. Potential candidates are:
- checkin of a single item (wasted effort: since FS is always used as an intermediate storage it will always be a bit faster)
- mass checkin (e.g. from Batch Loader - especially if you use Fast Checkin settings, db can be a bit faster, but you will need a real lot of small files)
- search
- update (metadata - wasted effort: should be the same)
- backup
- migration of content
Then, you will have to setup two environments with more-or-less the same conditions (CPU power, memory, disk speed).
And finally, you will have to create and run you test cases. I'd suggest to automate stress tests via writing a program calling the same services with the same data. Use WebServices (if non-Java) or RIDC (if Java).
Alternatively, if your task is "to get results" rather than "perform stress tests", you could try to approach consulting services or project managers to provide some normalized results for you. Something can be obtained in this whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/content-management/ecm-extreme-performance-wp-077977.pdf

Labview Realtime stress test

Hi,
I need some help.how to perform Labview Real time application level stress test?is there any tookit available?
So far I know I can use DSM to check CPU load and memory usage. Beside from that If I use below screen shot toolkits ,those will give me more on code level and all are each individual VI trace time.
Any Idea how to perform stress test for RT application level .
Thank you.

Stress testing is inherently application dependent. Basically it consists of looking at what your application can do and doing a lot of it.
Say for example, your application lets multiple remote users establish a connection and log some data. An example of a stress test would be to see how many simultaneous connections it can handle without failing or degrading it performance to an unacceptable degree.
What is your realtime application doing?

Stress Test Oracle 9i

Hello,
I want to perform stress tests on my Oracle 9i database. Is there a software that you can recommend to use. Maybe even scripts or shareware. Thank you.

There are a variety of third party load test tools available, generally part of a suite of QA tools. You can also build your own test harnass.
99% of the work, however, is in figuring out what to run to put a representative stress on your application and, thus, your database. Figure out a representative number of OLTP users, a representative number of DSS users, an appropriate overlap in time and in data, etc.

BlazeDS stress test framework

Hi all,
I'm looking for a stress test tool for BlazeDS applications
As far as I understand BlazeDS (not that much) Adobe's tool for Flex DS (LC DS) - http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Stress_Testing_Framework - might not be appropriate.
Am I right here ?
Does anyone have a direction to go with this ?

Some commercial products are available that have some Flex/BlazeDS support. WebLOAD from RadView has a Flex Add-On that I believe some people have used for testing BlazeDS.
The Flex Stress Testing Framework, recently updated and renamed the Data Services Stress Testing Framework only runs on LCDS 2.6.
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Data_Services_Stress_Testing_Framework
We are thinking about updating the Data Services Stress Testing Framework to run on BlazeDS as well but don't have any definate plans or schedule for this at this point.
For the time being, if none of the commercial products work for you, I think you should be able to use the Data Services Stress Testing Framework to test BlazeDS, but I haven't tested this.
You would deploy the Data Services Stress Testing Framework on LCDS and then in your load test make whichever destination/service you are testing point to your BlazeDS server. For example if you are load testing a messaging destination on your BlazeDS server you would have the messaging destination in your load test use a channel with a url that pointed to your BlazeDS server and not your LCDS server. Setting this up would definately take some understanding of BlazeDS, specifically how channels, destinations, etc. work.
If that sounds daunting, I would look into one of the commercial products. I think commercial products may be limited at this point in terms of how well they emulate our channel/messaging behaviour but I know some vendors have been working on this so that should be getting better.
Hope that helps.

PC powers off under Kombustor stress test MSI GTX 560-TI Twin Frozr II

Recently went through MSI RMA procedure and they replaced my 465 twin frozr II with the 560-TI twin frozr II. When the card is stressed under GPU Burn-IN benchmark settings, the computer will just reboot. Everything is set to stock speeds on the card.
I want to assume this is a power supply issue but I've had my i7 930 overclocked stably for a while, I reverted to stock speeds to give extra power back to the 12v rail, have unplugged my storage sata hd and dvd power and am still having this issue. Also it appears the 465 takes a lot more power than the 560-ti, though I hadn't stress tested it for quite a while.
My PSU is the OCZ500SXS. I monitored the 12v rail during stress testing and the lowest i see it drop to is 11.89v. Any ideas to narrow this down would be much appreciated. TIA

Understood. Thanks much for the response. I'll replace the psu and run the same tests and see what happens. All this has lead me to be curious about how power is precisely drawn for the system. Is there a known good resource/article for getting a complete understanding here? Thanks.
Also, this appears to be a good deal, no? Especially the 750w version seems to get quite good reviews and I may do sli at some point so it would be a good idea to be prepared, right?
