Workload Modelling Steps

Workload modelling is an art where a performance tester designs a scenario to achieve the desired performance metric and check the performance of the application. In one of my post (under PTLC topic), I described how to prepare the workload model with the help of available figures.

Today, I will share one of the articles written by JM which explains what are the steps involved to get a correct workload model? Apart from these steps, I would also like to give stress over the correct calculation of metrics which is the soul of scenario creation. A small miscalculation may lead the test result in the wrong direction. Soon, I will write a blog on the accurate calculation of workload. 

Back to the topic, today, you can refer to JM's article to get the knowledge on Workload Modelling steps.👇

Additional Details: Once all the scripts are created and validated in the performance testing environment then the next phase (Workload Modelling) comes into the picture. The distribution of load across the identified scenario at a given time is called Workload. Workload helps us to study the behaviour of the system under various identified workload model. The designing of workload comprises of various calculations but the ultimate aim is to achieve the desired goal in various terms. These terms could be the number of users, transactions per seconds, hits per second, throughput etc.
