[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Portal] - Stress/Load Testing plan/suggestions

I am making a plan for stress and load testing for Portal 2.4, but wanted some feedback on how real-usability those tests are. I have set up grinder and created 115 users in mySQL database for the first stage of testing - they can be increased to any number later. There would be a mixed set of users - those from 'Users' role and a bunch of 'Admins' - so we can exploit secured portlets as well (CMS being the most important). Here is an abridged outline to the scenario: USERS *user logs in *change the zip of weather portlet to check local forecast *click on some of the news headlines *minimize his weather portlet *edit some of his profile *(idle for 40-50 mins) *log back in *bring back the weather portlet, check a few other cities *logout ADMINS *log in *check deployed portlet instances *create a few CMS files *edit a few CMS files *logout There is only so much I can do with the out of the box portlets, and there will be many users logged in at the same time, doing pretty much the same things, although I will try to have them start at diff times and the tests will be run for 24 hours. Any comments, corrections, ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rali View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3962901#...
