Comment on Glassbox by dhartford

Followup post, I’m evaluating a similar tool to Glassbox and Infrared called ‘Javamelody’, and I’m really liking the balance between relatively low setup/complexity with the amount of information available.

I would enjoy an experienced opinion on this option.

p.s. I’m not a developer to the project, but I’ve starting using and contributing some thoughts to the project.

disclosed: I am the HP LoadRunner Product Manager.

I think that our Software-as-a-Service Performance Testing solutions at HP are very well suited for anyone, and the technology we use is built on the core LoadRunner components.

It’s important for us to take a great testing tool like LoadRunner and deliver with more self-service, on-demand models…that would appeal to developers or agile testing teams.

Comment on Monitoring WebLogic using JMX by shashi

Thanks for the most usable tips on configuring weblogic for JMX. i configured this with JVisualVM. And it worked on first go. I am mentioning this because i saw lots of other posts talking about this topic and none of them worked (atleast for me).
Thanks a ton once again.

The gold standard in this area that is extremely extensible, customizable with an enhanced AspectJ runtime fit with production capabilities such as byte code caching, filtering and aspect/class runtime inspection is JXInsight.

Comment on Performance is not a Check Box by William Louth

The key to successful performance engineering is in the creation or capture of both the software (steps, flows, interactions) and system (resources, concurrency, queues, contention plans) execution models.

Knowledge acquisition should drive any related efforts and it should start as early as possible and be archived so that others can understand the context for various technical decisions that impact scalability, reliability and performance.

One thing I find helps the performance engineering process is if during the design stage a simple performance model can be built that can identify what are the key performance critical areas. This then means the developers of those particular areas can then concentrate on producing good performing code. Less performance critical code areas can be given to junior programmers etc.

Nice article…captures the meat of performance testing…however, one key component of performance testing that is less mentioned is the role of functional testing, there are several options to handling this type of testing within an organization, some in parallel with performance testing based on completed scope testing, while others consider a fully functionally tested apps before engaging in performance testing. I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in both, and there are no single bullet solution. The decision often boils down to cost, time-lines, and other external factors that influence the project.

Just to add my two cent!

Comment on Introduction to The Grinder by Andrey Isaev

Andrey Isaev — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:17:41 +0000

Hi Steveo,

If you are still interested in The Grinder and GrinderStone, we’ve recently released new version 2.0.1.

What new:
support for Eclipse 3.4 and 3.5
support for The Grinder 3.1 and 3.2
support for latest versions of PyDev Eclipse plugin

New Features:
Ability to add and pass to script arguments via JVM parameters
Select grinder.property file dialog: should allow to select any file rather than “grinder.properties” only

What was fixed:
Eclipse 3.4.1 support
Eclipse 3.3 compatibility is broken
Unable to create new Grinder Run Configuration (PyDev 1.4/Grinderstone 2.0.0)
Grinderstone does not launch script (NoSuchMethodError – IpythonPathNature.getProjectSourcePath()Ljava/lang/String)
An internal error occurred during “Launching”

Download information:
GrinderStone home site: http://code.google.com/p/grinderstone/

Andrey.

bumping an old post, as I also have been trying to find ‘easier’ ways to identify performance troublespots as easy and as soon as possible.

I’ve used InfraRED in the past, and thought it was definately on to a great start, but as you mentioned support dwindled. Also tried Glassbox, also liked it, but didn’t really stick with it.

Do you plan on doing a followup post for the more recent times of any findings similar to these toolkits?

thanks

Comment on Monitoring WebLogic using JMX by Tanmoy Roy

Hi,
This article is really wonderful.
I have a question, can we monitor JDBC statics using jconsole for weblogic server? If so how? I am on wls10.3.
Also when I set -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8888 it says, read access must be restricted for JMXremote.password file.
I changed the file properties to read-only on windows box, but it still saying the same.
