Entry Criteria
It is important to define and validate the load testing entry
criteria before start testing. Following are the points which needs to
considered:
- Regression testing should be completed and the environment should be stable without any defects
- Test Strategy & Plan should be reviewed and signed off by the architects and clients
- The database set up should have been completed
- The testing, monitoring tools required should have been installed before script development and test execution phases
- The testing team should have access to testing tools and server machines
- All the project teams such as development team, environment team etc. should be aware of performance testing cycles to keep the servers in quiet mode during testing
- All user processes that consume more memory and CPU need to be turned off from all load generator consoles
Exit Criteria
After successful testing gets completed, following points should
be considered:
- All the performance test cases defined by the non-functional requirements document should be validated
- All the test scenarios defined in the test strategy document should have been executed successfully
- The test scenarios should simulate real-business mix of transactions
- Response time should be captured for all transactions from each test run
- The test results should include all necessary graphs for system resources and application metrics specified in the strategy document
- All the test types defined in the test strategy document should have been executed successfully
- Transaction failure rate of 2-5% is accepted at peak load
