Education publisher McGraw-Hill’s online applications can face up to 30,000 concurrent users. Efficient load testing is vital and OpenText™ Core Performance Engineering is the answer
Managing test assets and load generators was a time-consuming operation where issues and errors caused unacceptable delays.
McGraw-Hill was already using OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering and OpenText Professional Performance Engineering so it decided to try out the cloud-based (SaaS) load and performance testing tool, OpenText Core Performance Engineering and it worked well.
The company now uses OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering for in-house applications that are not related to the internet and OpenText Core Performance Engineering is used for online applications and interfaces where the loads are seasonal, peaking during the back to school season in August, September and October.
“As part of our OpenText Core Performance Engineering testing we went as high as 50,000 concurrent users so we have now moved some of our bigger test suites onto OpenText Core Performance Engineering.” says Koul.
“The most important added value we see is that we don’t have to manage our load generation mechanism now. All we need to do is just clear the scripts, upload them and we are good to go. That relieves us from having to consider the time it takes to create or maintain the hardware load generation.”
Running loads from OpenText Core Performance Engineering also makes tests more accurate because the virtual users are being initiated from remote locations, just like real users. Other benefits of using OpenText Core Performance Engineering are automation and integration with various other OpenText tools and also Jenkins, using the plug-in provided.
“In terms of the overall performance of the application, we’re able to test more frequently and get the integration results out pretty fast. Automation has really helped us to catch performance issues early in the development cycle and that is a primary improvement. It gives more lead time to developers and more time to test the defects,” adds Koul.
'We are 100% Agile and one of the key benefits of using OpenText Core Performance Engineering is that we can automate both testing and result generation. We are able to save time through automation and that leaves us free to concentrate on other areas.
McGraw-Hill has multiple teams of testers in many locations. Most of them are using OpenText Core Performance Engineering and a major advantage is the ability to scale out tests. With sufficient licenses, the tool can cope with hundreds of thousands of users. The teams have also found that OpenText is very responsive to new product feature suggestions and support requests.
Next steps for McGraw-Hill will be to integrate test execution into Slack so it can execute tests just by interacting with its chat client. It is also looking at developing a self-service model where developers could create their own scripts, upload them and then run the tests themselves.
We have now automated our whole testing suite and that makes our lives easier. Our performance engineers spend less time on testing and more time on things like engineering work. It gives them more time on personal development which is really great.
