软件性能测试实验教学设计

软件测试是保证软件质量的重要手段,许多高校都开设了相关课程。软件测试是一门技能型课程,应重视其实践环节,包括理论方法的应用及常用工具的使用等。性能测试主要测试系统在大业务量及大数据量下的性能表现,是系统测试中的一个重要方面。以某科研项目中的软件测试过程为原型,由浅至深设计了基于Jmeter的性能测试实验步骤,包括Jmeter中的基本概念和控制结构,以及提交参数内容可变、参数个数可变等高级应用。讨论了数据库设计对系统性能的影响,并介绍了利用索引技术优化数据库性能的一般原则。

Experiment teaching design of software performance testing

Software testing is an important means to ensure software quality, many colleges and universities have set up relevant courses. Software testing is a skills-based course and its practical aspects should be paid more attention, including the application of theory and the use of common tools. As an important aspect of system testing, the main job of performance testing is to test a system under a large volume of business and a large amount of data. Taking the software testing process in one of our research projects as a prototype, we design a performance testing experiment using Jmeter step by step, including the basic concepts of Jmeter and its control structures, as well as advanced topics such as how to change the content and number of submitted parameters. At last this paper discusses the impact on system performance by database design. The general principles of using index to optimize database performance are also introduced.
