We want to start load and stress testing for Integrity

We are currently using Integrity 10.6 version.

So what is the recommended Tool for performing Load/Stress test on Integrity Server

What are the existing tools used by customers for performance testing of Integrity?

Is anybody using Load Runner/Silk performer for performance testing of Integrity?

    Hello,

    we use something self-developed:

    Within a script we do this steps:

    - Write Timestamp

    - Create Sandbox of a Project's Build Revision

    - Delete Sandbox (incl. local Directory)

    This will be done 5 times in one sessions with a delay of some minutes between each run.

    Afterwards we check the timestamps and calculate the needed time.

    This session we run at different time of a day to check as well during high loading in the network as well as during times where nothing happens on the network.

    Thus we don't use a tool, but it works for us.

    After the first round of tracking we checked possible further influence factores like:

    - backup activities on server

    - general load on the network

    - load of authentication systems liek LDAP directory

    - ...

    Hope that gave an idea of our approach.

    Good luck for your work

      Thanks a lot Klaus for your useful inputs.

      Also would these scripts can be used for carrying out concurrent user load/stress testing scenarios for more number of users (say 100, 200 ......).

      Do you know anyone use standard performance tools such as Load Runner, Silk performer for carrying out performance tests for integrity.

      Any insights regarding these points would be highly appreciable.

      Hello Mukesh,

      If you found Klaus' or Matthias' answers useful, could you mark it as correct by pressing the Correct Answer button at the bottom of his post? If you found it useful but not complete, you can instead mark it as helpful by going to the Actions menu at the bottom of his post and select Mark as Helpful. You can only mark one of them as correct.

      Other organizations have used Load Runner in the past to perform testing from the CLI. Unfortunately, due to the way Integrity was implemented, Load Runner will not work from the Web UI.

      In general, most organizations which have created load testing use scripts to run CLI commands or use the API to call commands that way to simulate user interaction. The tricky part, of course, is to accurately simulate the real user load against your server.
