Performance Test load Model (1)

As a practitioner of performance testing, the most complex thing is the establishment of the load model of performance testing and the analysis of the final results, in which whether the establishment of the load model of performance testing is practical or not is the top priority in the whole process of performance testing. if the establishment of the load model is far from the production environment, then the test results are like passive water, completely meaningless.

Therefore, I sort out some of my personal experience in building performance test load models during testing, which is divided into several pages.

First of all, we put forward the concept. When describing the performance test model of a system, the most straightforward concept is to use data to show which users are doing what in the application system over time.

From this concept, we can see that three attributes are needed to describe the performance test model of a system, namely, load L (load), load object O (object) and run time T (time). From this formula, we represent the performance test model as a three-dimensional axis as follows:

All the concepts and methods we introduce later are developed on the basis of the 3D model.
