Activity 4. Configure the Test Environment. Prepare the test environment, tools,
and resources necessary to execute each strategy as features and components become
available for test. Ensure that the test environment is instrumented for resource
monitoring as necessary.

Activity 5. Implement the Test Design. Develop the performance tests in
accordance with the test design.

Activity 6. Execute the Test. Run and monitor your tests. Validate the tests, test
data, and results collection. Execute validated tests for analysis while monitoring the
test and the test environment.

Activity 7. Analyze Results, Report, and Retest. Consolidate and share results
data. Analyze the data both individually and as a cross-functional team. Reprioritize
the remaining tests and re-execute them as needed. When all of the metric values are
within accepted limits, none of the set thresholds have been violated, and all of the
desired information has been collected, you have finished testing that particular
scenario on that particular configuration.
