Fundamentals of Open STA

 Course Code : CTOOS 201 Source : CresTech
Course Length : 2 days

OpenSTA is a distributed software testing architecture designed around CORBA, it was originally developed to be commercial software by CYRANO. The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted HTTP and HTTPS heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms. However, the architectural design means it could be capable of much more.

Results and statistics are collected during test runs by a variety of automatic and user controlled mechanisms. These can include scripted timers, SNMP data, Windows Performance Monitor stats and HTTP results & timings. Much of the data logged can be monitored live during the test runs; once test runs are complete, logs can be viewed, graphed, filtered and exported for use by more sophisticated report generation software.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

    •    Identify what information needs to be gathered for load testing.
    •    Identify the components of OpenSTA.
    •    Apply the workflow recommended for creating a basic OpenSTA scenario.
    •    Assign scripts, run-time settings, load generators, performance monitors and Vusers to an OpenSTA
         scenario based on your load testing goals.
    •    Load test your application by running a scenario.
