چکیده

evelopers have been performance testing large database applications for more than 20 years. Up to now, they have focused primarily on system-level testing of operating systems and database management systems. However, just because a machine, its operating system, and its database system are fast does not mean that an application using the database system will perform well. Design flaws in the application or in the tuning parameters specific to the application's environment often result in serious performance problems.

A Prototype-Driven Approach to Application-Level Performance Testing: A Case Study of a Large Finance Application

We present an approach to application-level performance testing. This uses a popular test tool, TPNS (Teleprocessing Network Simulator) to simulate performance of an application. Our approach hinges upon a simple prototype tc verifjl that the system pe formance falls within acceptable bounds. Once the initial prototype is developed, detailed tuning mav take place. We present a case study in whi...

ZEN: A Directive-based Experiment Specification Language for Performance and Parameter Studies of Parallel and Distributed Scientific Applications

High-performance scientific applications usualy have a broad spectrum of specific problem parameters that range from I/O data sets, to complex parallelisation options, or performance optimisation metrics. In this context, performance-oriented code development, software testing, performance analysis, and parameter studies commonly require to conduct large number of executions for different param...

ZEN: A Directive-Based Language for Automatic Experiment Management of Distributed and Parallel Programs

Performance-oriented code development, software testing, performance analysis and parameter studies for distributed and parallel systems commonly require to conduct a large number of executions. Every execution of an application can be viewed as a scientific experiment. So far there exists very little support to specify and to control execution of a large number of experiments. Various problems...

Testing of Environment Friendly Refrigerant R290 for Water Cooler Application (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents environment friendly refrigerant R290 as a solution to the environmental concerns like depletion of ozone layer and rise in global warming because of wide use of synthetic refrigerants R22 and R134a. The water cooler is the widely used refrigeration application in warm climatic countries. Refrigerant R22 and R134a are predominantly used refrigerants in water cooler refrigera...

Using Program Slicing Technique to Reduce the Cost of Software Testing

Systems of computers and their application in the lives of modern human beings are vastly expanding. In any kind of computer application, failure in computer systems can lead to a range of financial and mortal losses. Indeed, the major origin of software failure can be located in designing or implementing software. With regard to these statistics, 30% of the software projects have been prospero...
