Welcome
Getting Started
This guide provides an overview and describes the task flows to get you started with HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance). This guide is intended for new users.
Task flows for performance testing
The task flows are designed to help you understand the end-to-end process of some of the capabilities of performance testing. For some of the technologies, there are specific task flows that you can follow to gain a clear understanding of the process.
Task flow: Recording a SAP batch input test
The task flow shows the recording of certain SAP transaction sessions from SAP GUI with SAP batch input tests recording wizard. When you record a session, the recording wizard automatically starts a SAP GUI interface and records the transaction that you specified. Typically, you use batch input tests in a schedule mixed with normal SAP performance tests to increase the load on the server.

- Task flows for performance testing
  The task flows are designed to help you understand the end-to-end process of some of the capabilities of performance testing. For some of the technologies, there are specific task flows that you can follow to gain a clear understanding of the process.
  - Task flow: HTTP record
    The diagram shows the task flow of HTTP recording to test the performance of an application using HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance).
  - Task flow: Generating workload
    The diagram shows the task flow of generating workload by creating user groups and dividing the load across different remote agents.
  - Task flow: Recording a SAP test
    The task flow shows the recording of interactions with the SAP GUI client to generate a SAP test.
  - Task flow: Recording a service test to test an SOA application
    The task flow shows the testing services in an SOA environment. You can record a test session by invoking service calls by using a generic service client or an existing client.
  - Task flow: Recording a SAP batch input test
    The task flow shows the recording of certain SAP transaction sessions from SAP GUI with SAP batch input tests recording wizard. When you record a session, the recording wizard automatically starts a SAP GUI interface and records the transaction that you specified. Typically, you use batch input tests in a schedule mixed with normal SAP performance tests to increase the load on the server.
  - Task flow integrating DevOps Test Performance and DevOps Test Integrations and APIs
    You can execute integration tests in HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance) by using Test Performance Extension for Test Integrations and APIs. In Test Performance, you can create a compound test to run the integration tests by using agents.
  - Task flow: Response time breakdown
    To collect Response Time Breakdown data, you must follow a workflow that includes installing and configuring Data Collection Infrastructure, enabling Response Time Breakdown for a schedule, running a schedule, and viewing Response Time Breakdown reports.
  - Task flow: Rate Scheduler
    The task flow shows running a rate scheduler to monitor the workload at the desired rate (transactions per second).
- DevOps Test Performance overview
  You can gain the conceptual understanding of HCL DevOps Test Performance (Test Performance) and its test extensions with these topics.
- Streamlined Eclipse and full Eclipse overview
  When you work in the streamlined Eclipse mode, only those functions that are directly related to the product are enabled in the workbench. When you install the product, by default, the check box to use the streamlined Eclipse mode is selected. With the full Eclipse mode, you have access to all Eclipse functions.

Task flow: Recording a SAP batch input test

The task flow shows the recording of certain SAP transaction sessions from SAP GUI with SAP batch input tests recording wizard. When you record a session, the recording wizard automatically starts a SAP GUI interface and records the transaction that you specified. Typically, you use batch input tests in a schedule mixed with normal SAP performance tests to increase the load on the server.

After you complete the recording, the wizard generated a SAP batch input test in Test Performance. You can then play it back again to fix the errors, if any.

Note:

You must perform the recording of certain SAP transaction sessions from SAP GUI. For more information, see Recording a SAP batch input test.
If a test is not behaving as expected during playback, you must ensure that the connection to the SAP server is available. For more information, see SAP connection details.

Later, you can add the other Test Performance elements such as data correlation, verification points, loops, transactions, and custom codes to test and playback the test to evaluate the results.
