Response time and reliability are examples of KPIs. To perform load testing without load test automation, you can direct users to log in and run through a business process during a specified period of time. This technique is effective but costly. You can use a test automation tool to simulate the load and achieve comprehensive and precise results without the cost associated with multiple human testers. Load testing automation also reduces the risk associated with user errors. Features of Load Test ToolsTools for load test automation provide the following features:
Not all load testing tools include all of these features, and some tools include more features. For more information, see the documentation for your load testing tool. How You Can Use the Siebel Correlation Library to Perform Load TestingThe Siebel Correlation Library allows you to use a third-party tool to automate load testing on a Siebel application. This is a dynamically linked library (DLL) that provides services to help the testing tool generate and run test scripts against your Siebel application. After you install the Correlation Library and set up your test environment, the Correlation Library helps the test tool translate the recorded test session in a script that you can run to test your Siebel application. The Correlation Library acts as an interpreter for the test tool. The test tool does the following work:
The Correlation Library parses the Web page and returns to the test tool the appropriate correlation information for the Web page. The correlation information allows you to parameterize data values. For more information, see the chapter about automating load tests in Testing Siebel Business Applications. The Correlation Library can parameterized the following entities:
Setting Up Your Environment to Use the Correlation LibraryYou can set up your environment to support automated load testing. Note that the Correlation Library is licensed for use only by licensed users of Siebel Test Automation. If you have not purchased a license for Siebel Test Automation, then you cannot write to or access the Correlation Library. For more information, see Testing Siebel Business Applications.
