Abstract

A tabular form screen on which input fields for a parameter and a set value can be added is used as a condition input screen. In a test pattern control part, set values of different parameter groups inputted via the condition input screen are arbitrarily combined, one set value group from each parameter group being selected for one combination, to automatically generate test patterns and parameter files which are information on the set values. An execution control section can control a server and a client terminal of an information processing system to execute performance tests successively only with one input operation based on the generated parameter files.

Claims

1. A performance evaluation device, comprising:

a result obtaining means for obtaining execution results of performance measurement tests executed under a plurality of measurement conditions in an information processing system to be evaluated, respectively;

an information storing means for storing on a storage medium performance evaluation information obtained from the execution results obtained by said result obtaining means respectively and said measurement conditions corresponding to said performance evaluation information in such a manner that they are related to each other;

a measurement condition providing means for determining and providing a recommended measurement condition based on said performance evaluation information and the measurement conditions stored on said storage medium; and

a variation analyzing means for analyzing, based on said performance evaluation information and the measurement conditions, performance change in response to change in said measurement condition, the performance change being indicated by said performance evaluation information,

wherein said measurement condition providing means determines said recommended measurement condition based on a result of the analysis by said variation analyzing means.

2. The performance evaluation device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an execution control means for controlling execution of the performance measurement test in said information processing system according to the recommended measurement condition provided by said measurement condition providing means.

3. The performance evaluation device according to claim 1,

wherein said variation analyzing means calculates a ratio of the performance change in response to the change in said measurement condition, the performance change being indicated by said performance evaluation information, and

wherein said measurement condition providing means determines said recommended measurement condition based on the ratio of the performance change calculated by said variation analyzing means.

4. The performance evaluation device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an information search means for searching said performance evaluation information and said measurement conditions stored on said storage medium according to a search condition externally inputted.
