Performance test management framework: HP Performance Center What’s New in 11.0?
HP Performance Center The platform for enterprise-level performance testing Globally accessible, centralized platform that enables consistent, repeatable processes for: Test planning, scheduling, execution and reporting across multiple concurrent projects and multiple people Defining performance requirements, tracking coverage and ensuring traceability to defects Monitoring, analysis and diagnostics to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks Reporting in real time as well as trending across multiple tests and iterations Maximize productivity and collaboration in distributed teams through 24x7 web interface Maximize utilization of resources through pooling and sharing of licenses, hardware and software. LABEL GOES HERE Increase process efficiency, produce better quality applications via Center of Excellence model
Performance Center11.0 Performance Requirements & Defects What’s new? Performance Requirements & Defects Next-gen platform for Center of Excellence Topology Miscellaneous Performance Center with HP ALM
The challenge: requirements & defects Traceability and coverage Performance requirements defined ad-hoc SLAs/SLOs (Service Level Agreements/Objectives) No reporting on requirements covered in tests No tracking from defects to see affected requirements Hard to track status & quality to business requirements
Performance Requirements Performance Center 11.0 Performance Requirements & Defects, Coverage reports Requirement coverage Performance Requirements Requirement status
Performance requirements & defects Benefits Save performance requirements (such as SLAs, throughput requirements, etc) with the project Log and track issues as performance defects, and assign defects to specific people to fix Complete traceability between performance requirements and defects to show what defect is affecting which requirement Show the exact status of a requirement at any given time
Performance Center 11.0 Performance Requirements & Defects What’s new? Performance Requirements & Defects Next-gen platform for Center of Excellence Topology Miscellaneous Performance Center with HP ALM
The challenge: Center of Excellence needs Collaboration CoE with multiple people and multiple projects needs Version control Asset sharing across various tests and projects Grouping of various projects together in logical units
