Chapter 2 - Basic Concepts
Executing the Load Test
After you have modified the template and the generated test script, you can execute
the test script. For information about how to execute a performance testing script, see
the Running Test Scripts topics in the Rational TestManager Help and in the Rational
Test Script Services
manuals.
Support for Verification Points
Typically, components tested with QualityArchitect are transactional, and as such
they make updates to a database. Therefore, verification must include a way to verify
these database transactions. Because scenario tests specifically test these transactions,
QualityArchitect provides database verification points to verify any changes to the
underlying database. When you generate a scenario test from Rose, QualityArchitect
prompts you to insert a database verification point for each message in your
interaction diagram.
In addition, the verification point framework is extensible, allowing you to create
your own verification point types. For overview information about verification
points, see Verification Points on page 25. For information about inserting database
verification points using the EJB Session Recorder, see Inserting a Verification Point on
page 97.
For more detailed information about verification points, see the following topics in
