Performance Center

The platform for enterprise-level performance testingHP Performance Center

Globally accessible, centralized platform. Enables consistent, repeatable processes for:• Test planning, scheduling,

execution and reporting across multiple concurrent projects and people

• Defining performance requirements, tracking coverage and ensuring defect traceability

• Monitoring, analysis and diagnostics to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks

• Real time reporting, and trending across multiple tests and iterations

Maximize productivity and collaboration in distributed teams through 24x7 web interface

Maximize utilization of resources through pooling and sharing of licenses, hardware and software.

Increase efficiency, produce better quality applications via Center of Excellence model

– Need a single dashboard to track the status of a project across the application lifecycle• Functional & non-functional requirements• Functional defects & performance bottlenecks• Functional testing & performance testing• Single dashboard

– Enable integrations between products

Tracking & managing across the Application LifecycleThe challenge: Application Lifecycle

– Stand-alone PC (customer may or may not have ALM or QC)

– PC & ALM Combined (PC only integrates with ALM, not QC))

Performance Requirements & Defects

Next-gen platform for Center of Excellence

Topology

What’s new?Performance Center 11.0

– Performance requirements defined ad-hoc• SLAs/SLOs (Service Level Agreements/Objectives)

– No reporting on requirements covered in tests

– No tracking from defects to see affected requirements

– Hard to track status & quality to business requirements

Traceability and coverageThe challenge: requirements & defects

Performance Requirements & Defects, Coverage reportsPerformance Center 11.0

Performance

Requirements

Requirement status

Requirement coverage

– Save performance requirements (such as SLAs, throughput requirements, etc) with the project

– Log and track issues as performance defects, and assign defects to specific people to fix

– Complete traceability between performance requirements and defects to show what defect is affecting which requirement

– Show the exact status of a requirement at any given time

Topology

What’s new?Performance Center 11.0

– Performance testers often do not know the infrastructure they are testing against

– Need information to setup monitors

– Need information to track configuration changes

– Majority of problems occur due to infrastructure configuration issues, not necessarily due to application issues

Infrastructure of System Under TestThe challenge
