Chapter 10 - Designing Performance Testing Suites
Consider the following suite, which does not contain any selectors:
When you run the suite with 50 virtual testers, TestManager assigns 10 virtual testers
to Accounting, 15 virtual testers to Data Entry, and 25 virtual testers to Sales (based on
the specifications of the scalable user groups). All 50 virtual testers start executing test
scripts at the same time.
s
The 10 Accounting virtual testers run each test script in the order in which the test
script appears in the suite: first Calculate Hours and then Calculate Taxes.
s
The 15 Data Entry virtual testers run the Set Up Database Application scenario and
then run the Add New Record, Modify Record, and Delete Record test scripts in
the order in which the test scripts appear in the suite.
s
The 25 Sales virtual testers run the Set Up Database Application scenario and then
run the Read Record test script.
However, suppose your Data Entry virtual testers actually add records, delete
records, and modify records randomly. Furthermore, they do not perform these tasks
with the same frequency. For every record they delete, they modify seven records and
add two records.
