LoadTest Experiment Helps Identify Bottleneck, Factor of Three Capacity Improvement.
eValid continues to demonstrate its mettle in real world applications,
and our latest eValid Success Story is no exception.
In this example project, a system that supports
Medical Personnel Qualification Exams
over the web was experiencing capacity issues at certain usage peak times.
The problem was, how to identify the bottlenecks in the back-end database
server that appeared to eat up all the performance.
The solution was to use a couple of eValid LoadTest scenarios to simulate
increasing numbers of simulated users, while at the same time
keeping track of server CPU utilizations.
As many as 15 machines, each running up to 20 eValid playbacks of a
highly data-intensive session, was enough of a load so the problems
with the server were evident.
The result: improvement of capacity by a factor of about three.
