Data Correlation seems to be a buzz word when you are handling dynamic data values while performance testing. So, what does "Data Correlation" / "Data Parameterization" actually mean ?? There are lot of explanations provided on internet and different approaches taken to describe this buzz word. As it relates to performance testing, this task is about how you make the script play around with the dynamic data values required in subsequent request to be sent to the server. In a single statement, you can define it as........ [More]

The IBM Whole-system Analysis of Idle Time (“WAIT”)  tool is a web-based tool for diagnosing performance and scalability bottlenecks, especially in deployed enterprise environments, but useful throughout the software life cycle from development to test to deployed customer environments and IBM customer support. WAIT's value proposition lies in the fact that it can be used with any deployed system running a JVM -- with no restart, no agents, no special flags, no special versions, no kernel patches, etc. WAIT is lightweight...

In order to generate real time reports in ART tool, you need consistent and accurate data of License server logs. It is the log file that record license checkout,check-in,denial and other critical data used to generate reports in ART tool.Prior to RLKS 8142, each time when you restart License server service, it overwrite existing content of log(lmgrd) file with new data. Seeing loss of critical log data, a new log mechanism was developed and implemented in RLKS ART 8.1.4.2. Let me give you a brief high level overview of ART tool before we dive... [More]
