An Approach of Performance Evaluation in Authentic Database Applications

摘要

This paper proposes a benchmark test management framework (BTMF) to simulate realistic database application environments based on TPC benchmarks. BTMF provides configuration parameters for both test system (TS) and system under test (SUT), so a more authentic SUT performance can be obtained by tuning these parameters. We use Petri net and transfer matrix to describe the intricate testing workload characteristics, so configuration parameters for different database applications can easily be determined. We conduct three workload characteristics experiments basing on the TPC-App benchmark to validate the BTMF and the workload modeling approach.
