System and method for goal-based dispatcher for performance test

摘要

The present invention enables a performance testing framework that enables multiple components working together to test a deployed application automatically in an unattended manner and to analyze the test results easily. At very high level, the performance framework can run performance tests on a tested system with one or more variations without user intervention and save the test results and configuration metadata to a database for later analysis. A goal-based dispatcher is operable to vary the configuration properties across the plurality of test runs to find the best configuration to achieve a plurality of performance goals. This description is not intended to be a complete description of; or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
