Stating Objectives in Measurable Terms
Once you decide on your general load testing objectives, you should provide more
focused goals by stating your objectives in measurable terms. To provide a
baseline for evaluation, determine exactly what constitutes acceptable and
unacceptable test results.
For example:
General Objective - Product Evaluation: choose hardware for the database
server.
Focused Objective - Product Evaluation: run the same group of 300 virtual users
on two different servers, HP and SUN Sparc 6000. When all 300 users
simultaneously perform five pre-defined queries, determine which hardware gives
a better response time.
