CUSTOMER CHALLENGES
9
Scrambling to find testing resources for performance testing
Use Case 1
– Performance testing is done at the end of the lifecycle
– Often done in an ad-hoc, unplanned manner
– You may not have access to testing solutions if not planned
ahead
– Need an on-demand solution!
10
Small organization / project does not have budget for testing software
Use Case 2
– Small organizations or projects have small testing budgets
– They may not be able to buy perpetual licenses for testing
needs
– They may buy open source or cheaper testing software that
is inferior to LoadRunner and does not necessarily meet the
needs
– Need an affordable solution!
11
Enterprise tester needs to augment existing testing solution
Use Case 3
– Enterprise customer has LoadRunner or Performance Center
in-house
– Tester needs to do some urgent tests, but testing resources
are not available
– Tester needs to augment in-house testing solutions
– Need a flexible, expandable solution!
12
Developers doing some performance testing
Use Case 4
– Customer following agile methodologies
– Developers do some initial ―unit‖ performance testing /
component testing
– They need to do testing as soon as they are done writing
code
– They do not have the budget to buy testing solutions
– Need an on-demand, affordable, pay per use solution!
