Rational Performance Tester guides you through the easy creation and modification of performance tests against Web applications.


You work on performance tests from within the Test perspective in the IBM Rational Software Developer platform.

Menu di Eclipse

To create a performance test, you start the recorder, provide a name for the performance test, and then navigate through your Web application as a typical user does.

Closing the browser ends recording; the resulting test is then displayed.

In the test editor, you can optionally customize any performance test.

Modifica dei test delle prestazioni





Data-driven testing uses data from an external file as input to a test. Variable data is provided to performance tests from datapools.

Utilizzo di un file esterno per fornire i dati del test


Using datapools, you can create a performance test with multiple users that will substitute specified stored values when the test is run for a value in the test when it was recorded.

Creazione del pool di dati

You run a performance test by setting up a schedule.

Esecuzione di una pianificazione

A schedule is a controlled, flexible way to create workloads that closely model workloads on your site. For example, you can start tests at different times.

Una delle opzioni disponibili in una pianificazione



A schedule can be as simple as one virtual user running one performance test . . .

. . . or as complex as hundreds of virtual users running multiple performance tests concurrently or at different times.

Rational Performance Tester provides several valuable reports for analyzing the performance test data. These reports are available both before and after you run a schedule. The next few slides introduce you to these reports.

With the Summary Report, you can analyze the final results at a glance.

Prospetto sulle prestazioni

The Performance Report provides the average load time of all pages accessed during a test run.
