RE: stress testing
Jared, Are you talking about yapppack? I've been using that for a while (nice display. Though like statspack it is system wide so I usually just look for high level stuff and changes). Not aware of a patch though. With most peoplesoft applications I have seen, the bottlenecks aren't database related, though I still need to get all appropriate data. That means application server, OS (NTfor app server, Sun for Oracle), web server,... stuff too. I'm still trying to find what numbers the tool itself gathers, and if/how it analyzes the stuff. In the meantime, I've been reviewing some of the papers on orapub (i.e. Ratio Modeling, Predicting Computing System Capacity and Throughput). Thanks.

RE: stress testing
The patch I refer to is one I made that didn't make it into the most recent version of yapppack. YP uses an array as internal storage, and walks through it with a for i in 1..n loop. Since arrays are sparsely populated there is a fair chance of hitting an array element that does not exist. The patch consists of rewriting the loop with array.first/next/last in a while loop to avoid the problem. Yes, it is high level, but it can pinpoint time periods that you may want to investigate.

RE: stress testing
Henry: John is partially correct. SAR, in concert with VMSTAT / IOSTAT, will provide you with a wealth of information. However, something is missing from the equation here. LoadRunner will generate scattered statistics on overall performance of an application (sorry: biased because Compuware has a better tool), but misses the mark on what other things could affect overall application performance. For example, are you doing to perform a virgin load test where no one is on the network and nothing but this application is running on the client? What about other traffic that would affect overall performance throughout your enterprise network? What about other applications/activities running on the client machines performing the load test. Only then will you have an effective measurement of application performance in the real world. If you truly have to use LoadRunner, get some software that can measure Network Performance as it relates to the load test and as it relates to general network traffic. The load test should account for other activity being performed such as email, backups, file transfers, reading of documents, etc. Otherwise, your numbers will be skewed. Good luck.

Re: stress testing
And when you're doing stress testing, make sure you load your system for quite long time. Stress testing shouldn't only verify system performance, but it should also test system's reliability. One of my clients had a problem with Oracle Apps, where they did a stress test for just one hour and concluded that the performance was acceptable. But one of the components in Apps (forms server) started just hanging after 5-6 hours of usage in their system, so if they had done an automated stress test over a weekend or even more, they'd have found it. Also, any kind of testing should simulate real life, if possible - otherwise you'll get results which might not match with future production usage all. That means, the amounts of data should be similar, if you can use a copy of real system for testing it'd be the best, also note that there are probably different usage patterns in your future system (such as month/year ending, campaign periods in retail businesses etc) so your system has to cope with all of them.

OT: Application stress testing tool
Hello, Apologies for an off-topic posting. Does anybody have any positive or negative experience with any system stress testing tools? I do not mean DB stress testing (we have software fot that) but a test package for system with a fat GUI client? Need something that would simulate user input (keystrokes/mouse clicks), allow scripting, simulate multiple users and record results so that they can be analyzed later. Any info would be highly appreciated.

RE: Application stress testing tool
SQA robot is suppose to be one of the best. Out of curiosity, what do you do on the DB end? Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes. Christopher R.
