Slide 4

SB41 In general, slide still seems a bit busy to me. See addtional comments in this slide for specific suggestions on changes.

A couple other general comments:

- Have Web 1.0/Current Landscape on top and ad new Web 2.0 to bottom. Your Hebrew background is showing ;^)- Have Web 2.0 line appear with build

- I would use black for the old landscape and brighter color for text on new landscape items

- Run this by Mark Leake time permitting for cosmetic cleanupSteve Brodie, 1 /31 /2007

SB42 I,m thinking we should delete this set of lines or merge with RIA linesSteve Brodie, 1 /31 /2007

AJAX ± What is it?

± AJAX is Asynchronous JavaScript And XML

± A web development technique for creating interactive web

applications

± Allows exchanging small amounts of data with the server

behind the scenes, without the page having to reload each

time ± Meant to increase web pages interactivity, speed, and

customer usability




FLEX ± What is it?

± Adobe Flash has unique animation capabilities

± Traditional application programmers found it challenging to

adapt to Flash

± Flex minimizes the problem by providing a workflow and

programming model that is familiar to application developers.

± Flex provides an easier way to build Flash applications




� Web 2.0 Bundle ± Ajax Framework solutions

± Flex 1.5 support for AMF version zero

± Flex 2.0 support - planned for 9.1

± Web services protocol

Remote Access Technologies ± What is it?

� Remote Access Technologies

± Citrix ± Market Leader

� One of our leading protocols

± MSFT RDP - Leading Challenger

� Requested by 25% of our existing

customers

� Testing Challenges

± Protocols support any activity over

the network not specific to one

application

± Very large deployments to support

many customers

± Remote Access is single point of

failure for business activity




� Citrix Protocol ± Major enhancement released in ¶06

± Client side agent less solution

± Agent Solution

� RDP protocol ± Next generation client side agent less solution

Windows Presentation Foundation ± What is it?

� WPF Technologies

± New UI framework from Microsoft

± Windows Vista

± .Net 3.0




Windows Communication Foundation ± What is it?

± Windows Communication Foundation, sometimes

shortened to just WCF, previously codenamed Indigo

± A new communication subsystem to enable applications, in

one machine or across multiple machines connected by a

network, to communicate.

± The WCF programming model unifies� Web Services

� .NET Remoting

� Distributed Transactions

� Message Queues

New scheduler



20

29 April2011

HP Software Technology Briefing 2007

Old Scheduler

A fixed structure: Ramp Up ± Duration - RampDown

Very hard to simulate real life behavior



21

29 April2011


Dynamic Scheduler

Accurate load testing capabilities

Easy to simulate real life scheduling

Increased usability, more Flexible

First step towards automatic generation of real life

scenario from imported production data



2229 April


Dynamic Scheduler Contents

Multiple Ramp Ups / Downs

Easier to use

� Interactive Graph - edit actions, drag, zoom

� Grid for detailed editing

Timeline at runtimePause/Resume scheduler

Full migration from LR 8.1



23

24

29 April2011


Real Life Schedule

Each schedule (by scenario / by group) is composed of

a list of Actions:

� Fixed actions ± Start Group, Initialize

� Dynamic actions

± Start Vusers, Stop Vusers, Duration ± Can be used multiple times, in any order



25

29 April2011


Vusers Quantity

Determined by the scheduler ± not by the group !

� No Ramp Up ³All´



26

29 April2011


Manual Operations

Do not affect the planned scheduling - not reflected in

the design graph

Affect the runtime behavior - manually run vusers will

be missing for next ramp

Example: at a certain point, the user manually startedsome more vusers.

� Blue ± expected scheduling

� Red ± actual behavior

Note: the red line is not

visible in the scheduler graph




SLA definition



28

29 April2011


Service Level Agreement (SLA)

The user may define goals for the run on several

measurements, like:

� Average transaction response time

� Total throughput (bytes) per run

The measurements are checked at run time, to see if there

is a violationThe results can be viewed in the Analysis application

� Transactions success/failure to stand up to SLA expectations.

� Load Test SLA violations, and the time they occurred
