We currently ran the performance testing for one of our prestigious customer.The tool we used for the test was load Runner . The test was supposed to be by two team one our team and another Customer team. We started the test on Customer database with 2500 CC and it got failed. The same test when run on our
internal Performance database and we have found that the test was scaling easily to 2500 CC and there comes out first learning
1. Evaluate the Volume of Database against when test is been done.
2. Evaluate the scenario against which UAT sign off is required.
Initial test runs failed and after multiple fixes we were able to successfully achieve 2500 CC. By the time we finished this test customer came up with his script and think time and we modified the script according to their think time and test again failed.Here comes my second learning
1. Never assume the think time even you are SME.
2. Hits/sec under certain concurrency is what Customer looks for.
Apart from the think time the customer did the URL mode scripting while we were doing the HTML based , currently we are running the test with context sensitive while out
Customer is running with Context Insensitive mode.
