Ready to deploy your EJBs into production? If you have not discovered this already, the success or failure of your EJBs in the final project are going to be judged not only that they perform correctly when one user calls them, but rather when 100, 1000, or 10000 clients call them simulateously!
There are many IDEs out there that help build EJBs and some that even write basic test clients for them. Unfortunately, these test clients are for functional testing only and will not help discover EJB performance problems. Empirix is hosting a free one hour web event presentation called "Enterprise JavaBeans Performance Verification" that will talk about the need for EJB functional AND performance testing. This event will be held Thursday, January 10, 2002 at 2pm EST. To sign-up for this EJB discussion or learn about about web events being offering, go to: http://webevents.empirix.com/ Enterprise JavaBeans Performance Verification --------------------------------------------- Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) are the central components in a Java-based enterprise architecture solution. They contain the business logic for an enterprise system and implement the communication between the Web-tier and database tiers. EJBs typically are architected and implemented for months before integrating with the Web-tier hardware and software. Waiting to verify the scalability of the overall EJB design and the efficient implementation until late in the software project with a Web test tool is risky and may cause the entire software project to fail. Due to the important role EJBs play, performance testing of the EJB architecture and implementation is critical during the entire design cycle, the test cycle, application server tuning, and with any hardware and software environment changes. Manual vs. automated EJB component verification strategies will be discussed. During the presentation, we will show how an example EJB will be scalability tested using Bean-test, Empirix's automated EJB component test tool. We will show how Bean-test automatically creates a test harness, exercises an EJB under load, isolates a scalability problem, and confirms an implemented correction to the scalability problem is successful. The web discussion will begin with a presentation on EJB performance testing followed by a question and answer session. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
