Systems and Methods for Predicting Load Test Resource Requirements
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining resources for a load test of one or more servers using one or more load test machines, comprising:
- collecting historical machine usage data for at least one load test machine, the at least one load test machine to emulate numbers of users accessing the one or more servers, to produce a user-accessible database of historical machine usage data for the at least one machine; and
determining by a user, from the historical machine usage data in the user-accessible database, a number of users accessing the one or more servers that can be emulated by the at least one load test machine within specified process limits.

Abstract
Systems, methods and media for collecting and using machine usage data and machine configuration data are disclosed. In one embodiment, a workbench computer collects historical machine usage data for at least one load test machine emulating a plurality of users to produce a database of historical machine usage data for the at least one machine.

9. A computer configurable to execute load test software for testing a server, comprising:
-
memory to store instructions to be executed by a processor and memory to store user-accessible load test machine usage data collected from one or more load test machines; and
a processor coupled with the memory to execute the stored instructions to enable a user to determine from the user-accessible load test machine usage data a number of users that may be emulated accessing a server by a load test machine within specified process limits for a specified load test machine configuration. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A machine-accessible medium having instructions for performing load test functions, which, when the instructions are executed by a machine, cause said machine to perform operations for testing a server, comprising:
-
receiving load test machine usage data from one or more load test machines;
storing into a memory user-accessible load test machine usage data and associating the load test machine usage data with load test machine configuration data stored in the memory; and
enabling a user to determine from the load test machine usage data, a number of users accessing a server that may be emulated by a load test machine within specified process limits for a specified load test machine configuration. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
