Research on DB2 Performance Testing Automation

Abstract:

Software testing play a significant role in modern software development and maintenance process, which is also an important means to ensure software reliability and improve software quality. With the continuous improvement of quality requirements of the software products and software engineering technology become more sophisticated, software testing has been participating into every phase of software lift cycle, become more and more important in software development and maintenance. DB2 Performance testing consists of four parts, which are environment setup, workload run, data measurement and environment clean up. Before all the operations are done manually and need about two hours continuous attention. Whats worse, even three times a day. This mechanical and complicated procedure is clearly unacceptable. This paper put forward a reusable automated testing framework based on IBM automated testing tools RFT to achieve the whole testing procedure automation. It reduces the count of human-computer interaction and greatly improves the efficiency of DB2 performance testing.
