Load And Performance Test Plan (Page 4 of 13) in pdf

Project Name Test Plan

1.0 Overview/Background

[Provide an overview of the application that will be tested, why it is being tested, the objectives

of the test, and what types of load tests will actually take place. For example if you are

conducting a performance test, a stress test, a volume test and a soak test provide definitions for

each type of test. ]

The website below contains comparison of different load testing tools:

For example: The application under test is a 3-tier enterprise system that will be deployed into production system to

perform [list of activities]. The application will undergo a performance and benchmarking test before being

deployed into production.

Descriptions for each type of test is provided below:

Performance:

Benchmarking:

The application under test is ____ has a ____ database, interfaces with these systems ____, has ___ interfaces and

conversion programs, and has an expected number of ___ production end users. Give a brief description of what the

application under test does or is used for and if it is an out of the box solution or a custom in house developed

system.

The application is being tested because the company is (Select all that apply and describe):

a) Upgrading the application presentation layer (GUI)

b) Implementing changes in the back-end layer which may affect the product performance

c) More end users will be added to the production environment

d) New interface programs and batch jobs have been added to the application under test

e) A router/switch will be changed, added, deleted

The Network has been revamped or the application has inadequate responses from remote locations

g) The application under test will be hosted on a different server or reconfigured sever

h) The application under test will be running on a new shared production environment

The application under test has undergone changes form one release to the other or after a gap analysis

End users and customers have complained about the application’s response times

ETC…

1.1 Concurrent production end users

[State here the total number of concurrent end users that need to be emulated. State if the

application is already running in a production environment with the expected number of end

users that need to be emulated or if the expected number of production end users will be

emulated for the first time.]

1.2 What is tested and monitored for response times

[Describe here the business processes and response times that will be tested and monitored. For

example order entry, invoicing, shipping will be tested and the response times to create a sales
