The successful development of scalable Web services on WebSphere (or any
other application server) requires thorough performance testing. Applying a
well-designed, consistent performance testing methodology throughout the
development life-cycle is key in satisfying a Web services application's
performance requirements.
This article provides strategies for creating load test scenarios that
reflect tendencies of the real world environment. To help you apply these
strategies, it introduces best practices for organizing and executing load
tests, and suggests how these best practices fit into a Web services
application's development life-cycle. It also demonstrates how to utilize
performance monitors offered by WebSphere and the operating system, as well
as how to analyze load testing results. The bulk of the discussion assumes
that WSDL is used to describe the Web serv... (more)
