Automated Load Testing – Oracle JD Edwards Application

Project Overview

  • Customer is a manufacturer and seller of health supplements across the globe.
  • Customer embarked on upgrading their JDE application to JDE 9.2 version.
  • The customer planned to test the application with 250 virtual Users by using Oracle OATS Load test component.
Process Point - Customer

Objectives / Challenges

  • Customer challenge was to perform OLT  to execute the test scripts by applying the load and check the performance of the application and to monitor the JDE Servers performances.
  • The customer decided to conduct 2 dry runs of the load test to set up and tune the scripts and 2 iterations of full load test to evaluate the configurations settings effect on the system’s High Load Scenario’s Performance.
  • The customer wants to improve system reliability by reducing business risks and reduce the cost of application downtime.
Challenges

Solution Implemented

  • Developed load test scripts using Oracle OATS Load test component (OLT) for 6 representative load test scenarios.
  • While performing the load test, captured the load (server statistics) on all other servers that JDE system (Application server, Database ) in real-time, for processing these transactions.
  • Developed and customized the load scripts to incorporate the necessary logic to emulate the customer representative business transactions.
  • Load testing was simulated in a Production environment using 250 virtual users by ramping up gradually.
