Performance Test Process
Performance Test Objectives
Purpose of this Guide

This guide provides the results of the performance tests of Adaptive Authentication
(On-Premise) 7.1 on commonly used supported platforms.
The performance tests measure system capacity and limitations within the application
landscape. They provide details around robustness under various load conditions. The
guide includes information about the test setup, and related software configurations.
This information may be useful to you as you set up your own test environment.
Note: The test results described in this guide are provided for reference only and may
differ from test results obtained in other test environments.
Performance Test Environment

The performance test environment uses commercial off-the-shelf load generation
software that provides the following items:
Utilities that facilitate script writing and script execution for the purpose of
running specific load test scenarios.
Software for monitoring resource consumption, response times, system health
measurements, and other system parameters, and then outputting the collected
data in graphs and tables.
Performance Test Process

The test plan phase determines which tests to run based on changes made to the
Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise) software.
The performance testing team develops scripts to drive the load generators through
various tests. To prepare the test platforms for testing, the team also develops scripts to
populate the database with enough real-world user records and event logs to simulate a
production system. A large volume of user records and event logs is essential for
avoiding constant reuse of the same user records and event logs which can lead to data
collisions and deadlocks.
1 Performance Test Results Introduction 9

The team runs scripts up to three times on each platform to provide reliable test
results. The team collects and correlates the results to arrive at conclusions.
During product development, performance test results helped detect potential
performance issues. The development team addresses the issues and the software is
re-tested to determined if the issues are resolved. Finally, performance tests are run on
the final product version. The final test results for representative environments are
provided in this guide.
For details about the Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise) performance test
environment, see Performance Test Environment on page 11.
Performance Test Objectives

Performance testing has the following objectives:
Detect any performance issues resulting from new features or other software
changes.
Detect system or component failures which might have occurred as a result of
high load on the system.
Detect congestion within the system.
Avoid exhaustion of server resources during high load on the system.
Quantify the customer experience (response time, transactions per second) during
high load.
Quantify the performance of API on-line requests and off-line tasks.
Determine the database upgrade time.
Detect whether or not the system performance meets or exceeds the performance
results of the previous version of the same product.

Test Environment Preconditions

Test environment preconditions include loading the database with event logs and user
records to simulate a production environment. A high data volume and data variation
such as that shown in the section simulate a production setting. A low number of event
logs and user records can lead to overuse of data in tables resulting in system
congestion and data collisions.
For both Solaris and Windows servers, the database is pre-populated as follows:
100 million records in the EVENT_LOG table
1 million records in the USERS table
Performance Test Conditions

The performance tests are performed using the following conditions:
Machines are fully reimaged with operating system and Adaptive Authentication
(On-Premise) software.
Load clients are used to perform load tests on different platforms of the Adaptive
Authentication (On-Premise) product.

Total Transactions per Second
Transactions per Second
Transaction Summary

The Total Transactions per Second test data displays the total number of completed
transactions (both successful and unsuccessful) performed during each second of a
load test. This type of graph helps determine the actual transaction load on the system
at any given point in time.


The Transactions per Second test data displays the number of completed transactions
(both successful and unsuccessful) performed during each second of a load test. This
type of graph helps determine the actual transaction load on the system at any given
point in time.

Transaction Summary
The Transaction Summary test data displays the number of transactions that passed,
failed, stopped, or ended with errors.


User Influence

Transaction Response Time (Percentile)
User Influence
The User Influence test data displays the average transaction response time relative to
the number of Vusers running at any given point during the load test. This type of
graph helps view the general impact of Vuser load on performance time and is most
useful when analyzing a load test which is run with a gradual load.


The Overlay of Running Vusers and Average Transaction Response Time test data
shows how increasing the number of Vusers (virtual users) increases the average
response times for various transaction types.


The Transaction Response Time test data displays the percentage of transactions that
are performed within a given time range. This type of graph helps determine the
percentage of transactions that meet the performance criteria defined for your system.


Throughput
Server Performance
Throughput
The Throughput test data displays the amount of throughput (in bytes) on the web
server during the load test. Throughput represents the amount of data that the Vusers
receives from the server during any given second. This type of graph helps you to
evaluate the amount of load Vusers generate, in terms of server throughput.

Server Performance
The Server Performance test data displays a summary of the System UNIX Resources
usage for each UNIX based host.

The following table describes the measurements used in the Server Performance test
data summary.
Measurement Description
Average load Average number of processes simultaneously in the Ready state

during the most recent minute of testing. A process in the Ready
state is waiting to run but the CPU Busy state prevents the
process from running. The monitor samples data every five
seconds so the average is from the most recent twelve samples.
Context switch rate Number of switches between processes or threads, per second.
CPU Utilization Percentage of time that the CPU is utilized.
Swap-In Rate Number of processes swapped into memory, per second.
System mode CPU Percentage of time the CPU is utilized in system mode.

Throughput
Server Performance
Throughput
The Throughput test data displays the amount of throughput (in bytes) on the web server during the
load test. Throughput represents the amount of data that the Vusers receives from the server during any
given second. This type of graph helps you to evaluate the amount of load Vusers generate, in terms of
server throughput.
