I am planning to evaluate a Framework for Forte applications. I would be
glad if someone can let me know what are the finer points I should look
for. I am evaluating it more from performance point of view, so would
appreciate if you can throw some lights on the different types of
metrics that need to be collected.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bala,
I think you should ask Forte Consulting : they have some bench available
with metrics in several environments.
I have done some performance testing, but it is too specific on hardware
and software architecture. Anyway the conclusion is always the same :
Forte isn't the limit, the infrastructure used with Forte is the limit.
So you can consider the framework as software infrastructure. The best I
think to evaluate a framework is to build the same application with and
without the framework and make mesures on the two versions.
What I would look after on a framework aboput performance :
1°) 3 Tier Architecture implementation
2°) Instanciation
3°) Partitionning
4°) Reference/Copy mechanism when you pass from a partition to an other
5°) Flexibility of use and evolutivity (modularity)
6°) Compatibility with external components and framework (like Express)
7°) Performance on each node of the architecture with and without
compilation (Forte has a Technote about Performance instrumentation on a
Forte Application)
8°) Packaging in Developement environment and in Production environment
9°) Tools given with the Framework (code generation, documentation
generation, delivery tools, version management tools, etc...)
10°) Full Tolerant system : Fail-over (process and network)
11°) Optimization of the hardware part (using multi-processing and
multi-threading)
