12 Mar 2007 Get an overview of Rational Performance Tester in this basic tutorial,
which includes demos and hello world exercises.
Practical, hands-on exercises teach you how to record automated performance tests, use data-driven techniques to ensure randomization, play-back tests, and evaluate real-time performance reports. Upon completing the tutorial you will be able to use Rational Performance Tester to determine the cause of performance problems in your applications.
Objectives
After completing this tutorial you should understand the basic functions of Rational Performance Tester and be able to use it to discover and analyze performance problems in your applications.
Prerequisites
This tutorial is for testers new to test automation and unfamiliar with
Rational Performance Tester.
As you are taking the tutorial, you can practice the steps yourself if you have access to the environment the tutorial requires. If you don't have access to the environment, you can still read the tutorial and view the animated demos. You just won't be able to try the steps for yourself.
System requirements
The easiest way to access the tutorial
environment is through the Rational Performance Tester online
trial system created for the tutorial. The trial system uses the Citrix Access Platform to
provide you with a connection from your workstation to a remote server
running Rational Performance Tester, WebSphere Application Server 6.0, and
the sample application to be tested. If you choose to set up the tutorial environment on your own machine, you must install these components and configure the environment for yourself.
Note that the example
application for this tutorial is not found in WebSphere Application Server
6.1; you must have access to version 6.0. If you don't have WebSphere Application Server V6.0 installed, download the trial version (look under Previous versions).
