New test strategy for SQLbusRT

The test results that I have generated before (see my previous post) did not really help me in reaching my project goal, which is to make it possible to predict SQLbusRT's performance, reliability and scalability when it is used in an application.

In my new strategy I'm gonna take one step at a time to put the different components of SQLbusRT to the test.

My first upcoming test will involve sending messages back and forth between two processes, using the ORTE communication bus. This way, I can really measure ORTE's performance and reliability alone, without influence of MySQL. I will perform this test in different scenario's which will let me determine the scalability as well.

After having processed the results of these tests, I will include MySQL. Making these separate tests will let me determine the influence of ORTE and MySQL separately.

The new test results will of course be posted here again as soon as they are processed.

Presenting the first SQLbusRT test results

Here it is, a presentation after my first tests. Open the slides by clicking here. (Or right click, save as...).

The presentation is not exhaustive if it comes to the test results, so if anyone is interested in the log files themselves, you can drop me an email at bram.smulders-at-imtech.nl or post a comment with your email address.
