Performance testing of software applications

摘要

Identifying performance issues in an application under test (AUT). The AUT executes on a system under test (SUT) in a test environment, and uses one or more context parameters of the SUT and/or the test environment. A rule engine identifies performance antipatterns in trace data generated by the AUT when executing a set of test suites, based on a set of performance antipattern definition rules, each performance antipattern associated with one or more context parameters. One or more performance test suites are identified that cause the AUT to use at least one of the one or more context parameters associated with the identified antipatterns. The list of identified performance test suites is ranked, based on respective priority values associated with each identified antipattern.

1. A computer program product for identifying performance issues in an application under test (AUT), the AUT executing on a system under test (SUT) in a test environment, the AUT using one or more context parameters of the SUT and/or the test environment, the computer program product comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to identify performance antipatterns in trace data generated by the AUT when executing a set of test suites based on a set of performance antipattern definition rules, each performance antipattern associated with one or more context parameters;program instructions to identify one or more performance test suites that cause the AUT to use at least one of the one or more context parameters associated with the identified antipatterns;program instructions to rank a list of identified performance test suites based on respective priority values associated with each identified antipattern the priority values are based on a heuristic approach including assessing severity of an impact to performance of the AUT and/or the SUT or severity of the impact to AUT software code maintainability; andperforming, by the computer, at least one test suite in the list of identified performance test suites first based on a highest priority value from the priority values in the ranking.
