Automated software quality (the process of having software test other software in an unattended fashion) has become a key player in the continued rollout of agile development processes whose target is “better software, faster.” Technical articles, open-source utilities, and licensed software solutions abound for desktop and server operating systems. But, what about classic System i… Continue reading Using Modern Automated Testing Tools to Verify Mainframe and Midrange Batch Functions

Are You Using Best Practices for Your Performance Testing?
“Best practices” is a term that’s become a bit overused in the technology industry, with some expert (and not-so-expert) professionals using it as a mechanism to promote their preferred approaches. Nevertheless, the term still has considerable validity in the world of software testing. Here, a substantial body of evidence effectively proves that implementing key, documented… Continue reading Are You Using Best Practices for Your Performance Testing?
User Modeling and Script Modularization
User Modeling User modeling is a very important step when planning out load tests. There are many ways to go about creating a model, but the UCML (User Community Modeling Language) Diagram stands out as an excellent way to quickly and visually communicate the various business processes virtual users will perform during the load test.… Continue reading User Modeling and Script Modularization
HP LoadRunner or HP Performance Center on a VMware Instance or a Physical Server
LoadRunner and Performance Center installations are complex test rigs with complex design considerations. First you can deploy ALM/PC platform on a VMware ESX 4.0 server. The system configurations of each virtual machine are the same as the ALM/PC Platform server system configurations. BSM Platform can also be deployed on a VMware ESX 4.0 server with… Continue reading HP LoadRunner or HP Performance Center on a VMware Instance or a Physical Server
