4. Performance Testing

Jmeter is used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources. It is mainly used for

Performance Testing, Load Testing and Stress Testing. It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a

server, network or an object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load

types. It is used to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior

under heavy concurrent load.It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or an object to

test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. It is used to make a

graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent

load.

Test Results

The results would show the response times as well as throughput, when increasing the number of users

accessing the application at the same time.

I have considered the pages which use less database hits in the page and compared results with the pages

which have more database content to be retrieved.

Campus News

In this page very less content is retrieved from database. So I first tested this page using the Jmeter and

the results are as follows.

Testing with 1000 users

Testing with 2000 users

Results

In this page more content is retrieved from database. So I tested this page using the Jmeter and the results

are as follows.

Testing with 1000 users

Testing with 1500 users

Testing with 2000 users

Class Schedule

In this page almost all the content is retrieved from database. So I tested this page using the Jmeter and

the results are as follows.

Testing with 1000 users

Testing with 2000 users

10

Testing with 3000 users

As we can see from the above graph that throughput graph is stable for 1000 and 2000 users but the

graphs is not actually stable for 3000 users. Hence our application can support around 2000 users.

5. Usability Testing

Six users will be asked to use the system, and give their feedback. Comments from the users will be

documented. Among these six users two will be the normal users, the other two will be students and the

remaining two will be staff. All these different kind of users would be given the questionnaire in which

users have to rate for the questions including the easy and proper navigation, layout, visibility, layout,

Going back to homepage from any particular place, etc.

Questionnaire for Users

What do you think the purpose of the website is?

How is the organization of information?

How good is the terminology through out the website?

Was it easy to get to the homepage from the page you started on?

Is it easy to read the characters on the page?

Does it showing proper error messages?

11

Are the Prompts of input clear?

How speed is website?

Did you find any broken links?

Was there something missing you were expecting to see?

What is your overall reaction to the website?

Results

I asked six users to fill the questionnaire by going through New Vision Concept School website. Based on

their comments I made few changes to the website.

6. Compatibility Testing

In Compatibility Testing, the system is tested on different browsers which include Internet Explorer,

Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Mac Safari. The New Vision Concept School Portal is compatible

with all the four browsers, though Internet explorer would be ideal to use as it is a Microsoft product for

maximum efficiency in terms of compatibility of all features.

7. Security Testing

The Authentication and Authorization validation for the students and teachers using New Vision Concept

School Portal is successfully tested.

8. Testing Tools

YSlow:

Yslow is used to analyze web page performance by examining all the components on the page. It also

examines components dynamically created by using JavaScript. It measures page performance and offers

suggestions for improvement.

When I tested New Vision Concept School Portal with YSlow I got the following analysis.

12

The overall grade of New Vision Concept School Portal is C but we have to consider the individual

parameters because some may not be applicable to our project.
