Benchmarking DynaCache
In this chapter, we discuss benchmarking DynaCache. Any Web application has its target uses and users. Web application performance (how fast a page is returned) and capability (how many concurrent users the system can support) are key issues in ensuring the users are left satisfied with the service and the Web-based business can attain the desired profits. Unlike Web application functionality, however, performance and capability are concepts that are inherently vague and relative. The purpose of a benchmark, then, is to make their discussion more concrete and to provide a point of reference for their measurement.
This chapter contains the following:
- >A brief discussion of the general benchmarking methodology and key considerations for benchmarking Web applications and WebSphere Commerce with DynaCache specifically
- A discussion of the benchmark-creation testing process
- A discussion of the design, execution, and results of a sample benchmark-creation test for a WebSphere Commerce system with DynaCache
