HP Performance Center software

1 HP Performance Center software Data sheet HP Performance Center software is an enterprise-class Performance testing software , designed to facilitate standardization, centralization, global collaboration, and the formation of a Performance testing Center of Excellence. Enterprise wide Performance common testing infra structure. Licenses and resources that were distributed across various projects can validation be consolidated into one central, easily-accessible pool. This makes license management much easier, Standardize your Performance testing eliminates redundancy of hardware and software , and platform makes resources more accessible to various projects.

2 Scheduling of test resources helps optimize resource Whether you want to standardize on a specific testing utilization. License-pooling enables customers to buy platform or develop a Performance testing Center of exactly what they need, and helps reduce license excellence (CoE), you can base your quality initiative costs. A central install makes installation and upgrades on HP Performance Center software . easier. All of this cuts the cost of enterprise load HP Performance Center is built on HP LoadRunner, testing, and increases ROI.

3 The industry-leading Performance testing software . A management framework on top provides a Support your enterprise environment web-based, globally accessible platform that facilitates As the types of applications you deploy change from enterprise-wide testing and collaboration. Web to Java to Web , it becomes more difficult HP Performance Center is available for 24x7, to find one solution for all of your Performance testing concurrent use, regardless of whether Performance needs. With support for more than 60 protocols and a testers are in New York, London, or Bangalore.

4 Protocol software development kit (SDK), which allows partners to create protocols, HP Performance Center Centralize and consolidate testing provides a broad range of coverage and support for your strategic IT initiatives from ERP/CRM deployments resources and upgrades to Application Modernization initiatives. Distributed application Performance testing teams The new, browser-based TruClient scripting technology with multiple products often result in over-investment supports next generation AJAX applications . in licenses, hardware, and software .

5 The first step We also have an extensive community of third-party toward increasing your return on investment (ROI). solution providers. You can be sure that no matter how is to standardize your software and consolidate diverse your quality assurance (QA) requirements are, your testing resources. HP Performance Center lets our solutions can meet your needs. globally distributed per formance engineers share a Figure 1. Performance Center shows the status of the transactions, systems, and machines online as you run the test. Track and monitor your infrastructure tests so that appropriate changes can be made.

6 This becomes particularly relevant in the case of agile topology methodologies where there exists the concept of HP Performance Center also includes a topology multiple sprints and iterations. module which helps you define the infrastructure HP Performance Center provides Performance topology of the system under test. A high percentage trending information across multiple tests. You can of issues actually result from mis-configuration of the define a baseline and setup reports that help you infrastructure and machines. Often times, testers don't quickly see how the application Performance is know the details of the infrastructure they are testing trending over subsequent iterations, and how the against.

7 Having everything in one place with the tests application is performing against the defined SLAs. helps keep a record of the configurations, so that you know exactly what you are testing against, and keep track of changes between iterations. The visual Build a Performance testing topology also facilitates setting of monitors so that you can see exactly what is happening in the system as Center of excellence you run your tests. Increase organizational efficiencies, Ensure coverage of Performance deliver better quality requirements.

8 Track defects back to In addition to selecting a standard load testing relevant requirements solution, many companies are moving to an IT shared services model, called a Performance testing CoE, HP Performance Center supports defining of to increase productivity and standardize p rocesses. Performance requirements such as Service Level The efficiencies gained by creating a CoE with Agreements (SLAs) in your tests. When defects HP Performance Center include increased testing are detected, those can be tracked back to the produc tivity, improved collaboration across requirements to see if critical requirements are application teams, and the ability to outsource some affected.

9 You can also see a coverage report of or all of the tactical work of load testing. A CoE. all requirements to track the exact status of your facilitates sharing of best practices and skills, and projects, so that go/no-go decisions can be made enhances your organi zational efficiency by quickly appropriately. HP Performance Center provides delivering testing capability throughout the enterprise. visibility into the test status across the enterprise. In short, a CoE model increases your infrastructure and human resources u tilization, and eventually drives Measure quality across multiple tests better quality across the enterprise.

10 And iterations Testing is typically an iterative process where you Support collaboration across the run a test, analyze results, make necessary changes, enterprise and then run a test again till optimum Performance Performance testers gain 24x7 Web access to all is achieved. It is important to be able to quickly testing operations, including uploading test scripts, determine how the application Performance is scheduling load tests, creating load test scenarios, progressing over multiple consecutive iterations of running multiple load tests, monitoring test executions, 2.
