HP Performance Center

HP Performance Center is a system for testing of performance at the enterprise level.

Description

The application is created on the basis of the software of HP LoadRunner, contains a management structure which helps:

• organize joint work of separate commands and combine efforts on project implementation;
• standardize processes, centralize resources and create the center of the advanced knowledge in the field of testing of performance;
• cut down expenses, optimize use of resources using their consolidation, drawing up diagrams and providing continuous access to them;
• provide control of execution of requirements (under agreements on the service level) and defects;
• integrate platforms at all stages of lifecycle of the application — from development to the production environment.

Main Advantages

• functionality of HP LoadRunner
• the web platform with the round-the-clock daily and global access and the central repository
• consolidation of resources and drawing up diagrams for optimization of their use
• lab Management Automation optimizes preparation and a response
• integration with HP ALM, HP BAC and HP BSM for support of all lifecycle of the application

Cloud version of Performance Center

HP Performance Center (PC) on SaaS provides the complete solution for testing of application performance. The platform helps users an opportunity to load data from the outside, avoiding firewalls that allows to confirm compliance of performance measures of the application to requirements of business and also to minimize the risks connected with deployments of applications and their updates.

Testing of performance on demand

Performance Center created on the basis of HP, the SaaS solution provided on demand helps to test loadings of applications in a cloud environment and from it. Virtual users and types of protocols are purchased the quantity them increases or decreases by the period when they are necessary, in process of project implementation.

Performance tests are executed of load generators in cloud or in the local environment protected by the firewall. The solution can be used for creation of a complete technique and formation of the center of the advanced knowledge and the application performance management used within the enterprise.

Main Advantages

• The readiness for record of protocols allowing to save time for coding
• Injectors on the basis of cloud computing: testing of loading of applications on an input in a cloud environment and from it
• The adaptable, economic options connected as required
• The platform, ready to use, for acceleration of an evaluation stage of performance
• Provided on demand, services, ready to use, for testing of loading

2014: HP Performance Center 12

On March 20, 2014 the HP company announced a release of the HP solution of Performance Center 12.

The new version allows to improve processes of continuous testing of systems in terms of power, scalability and reliability, has new means of cloud testing.

Using improvements of HP of Performance Center, including support of REST API, the companies can organize continuous testing in the course of agile development and, thus, create content and high-quality services.

Advantages

• Cost reduction by means of instant access to the powerful cloud generator of scalable loadings;
• Reduction of unproductive costs at the expense of the integrated environment of management providing automatic reservation of load generators in a cloud for geographically dispersed teams and preserving of the existing security levels and control;
• Stability of business due to purposeful and productive testing, the improved opportunities of interaction of users and developers for all lifecycle of the application;
• Preventive identification and elimination of problems with performance due to earlier integration of stress testing and agile development.
