Introduction to PAL and process flow

Design and Run

load test

Production report is used to

design load test and scripts

Execute load test to capture

results on test

environment

Load test execution is a iterative

process

Step 3:

Add load test data

to the report

Add test execution result

to the report and compare to production data

Use the data to tune the load test until it resembles production behavior

Step 4:

12

Introduction to PAL and process flow

Export data to

production

Various assets can be exported

to monitor application in

production

Application should be

certified for release before exporting data

Step 5:

13

1. Lifecycle must start with clear business requirements

2. Testing must be done based on actual production measures

3. An accurate view of service level must be measured and monitored“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” - Dave Packard

Summary

Without it IT cannot set, test, measure, or deliver on expectations

Without it Quality will suffer

Without it Service degradation is inevitable
