Performance Testing
Performance Testing is defined as a type of software testing to ensure software applications will perform well
under their expected workload.

JMeter – Performance Testing Tool
The Apache JMeterTM is pure Java open source
software, which was first developed by Stefano
Mazzocchi of the Apache Software Foundation,
designed to load test functional behavior and
measure performance.
You can use JMeter to analyze and measure the
performance of web application or a variety of
services. Performance Testing means testing a
web application against heavy load, multiple
and concurrent user traffic.

JMeter Installation and Prerequisites
Install Java 8 and
above
Download Apache
JMeter zip

High level steps to Record the Script
Ways to record script in JMeter
⮚ Recording JMeter script using HTTPs Test Script Recorder.
 Add HTTP Test Script Recorder.
 Add proxy on your browser.
 Start Recorder and perform browser actions.
⮚ Recording JMeter script using Blazemeter plugin.
 Add Blazemeter plugin to Chrome browser.
 Create account and login.
 Write test name.
 Start Recorder and perform browser actions.

Create script for MSTR Dashboards – Approach 1
Requirement:
To execute all the dashboards kept in below folder structure
with multiple users to create 80-100 sessions.
Shared Reports >> CMT >> OPEN_SHARED_REPORTS >>
DOCUMENTS >> PPR >> OPEN_CONCURRENCY_TEST >>
FOLDERS(8) >> 4-8 Dashboard in each folder.
Steps to create and correlate script
 Record script by traversing through each of the folder
structure.
 Once recorded correlate script to handle dynamic
requests/failed requests.
 Add CSV’s to pass Users, Folder ID’s and Document ID’s.
 Divide dashboards into two section i.e. Single Servlet and
Double Servlet.
 Add condition in script to identify Single Servlet and
Double Servlet.

MSTR Dashboards – Approach 2
 Get the URL API (WEB Path).
 Login using an HTTP POST Request by providing username and password,
 Receive a temporary authentication token for later requests to identify yourself,
 Send the auth token within subsequent requests, typically via HTTP Headers like Authorization:
Bearer AUTH_TOKEN.
How URL API approach works in JMETER?

Create script for MSTR Dashboards – Approach 2
Steps to create JMeter script
 Create new Test Plan
 Add Thread Group
 Add 2 CSV Data Set Config as ‘Child Item’ to Fetch User ID and Document ID
 Add Transaction Controller for login and Dashboard execution
 Add HTTP Request to post URL API
 Add HTTP Header Manager to pass extra parameters with URL
 Add Regular expression Extractor to extract values from the response.
 Add Debug Sampler

Prerequisite
Below are the prerequisite for creating URL API Script in JMeter
 Web Protocol
 MicroStrategy Web Path
 Web Server Port
 Intelligence Server Authentication Mode
 CSV file as data source to Fetch Document ID
 CSV file as data source to Fetch User ID and Password

Capacity Testing Tool

Capacity Testing Tool
➢ Introduced in MSTR 2019, to check the performance of Intelligence Server and Web server of MicroStrategy Project.
➢ The purpose of this tool is to establish a baseline for the performance of a MicroStrategy application or determine
how a particular MicroStrategy application’s performance has been affected by an upgrade to a new version by
comparing two environments.
➢ Perform Stress Testing , Load Testing and Volume Testing.
Prerequisite

Prerequisite
➢ Capacity Testing Tool setup file
➢ Profile.csv
➢ MSTR Version
➢ Web Server Address and Port:
➢ MicroStrategy Web Path:
➢ Intelligence Server IP and Port:
➢ MicroStrategy Library API url:
➢ MicroStrategy Username and Password (Standard and LDAP):
➢ Upgrade Analysis Dossier

How it works?
Setup Capacity
Tool
Run the CTT Tool
Answer all the
prompts in the tool
Define Users,
Threads and Cycle
Execute the Test
Analysis of Result
Start new Test
Run the test using
Response file

Result Analysis
Three different pages of Upgrade Analysis Dossiers illustrate those results, helping to identify any throughput
or resource problems and identify any problem areas, down to the step-level.
 Summary Page
 Performance by Execution Type Page
 Execution Details Page

Result Analysis

Limitation of CTT
➢ Only non-prompted content objects are supported.
➢ The Capacity tool only runs in command line mode.
➢ The Capacity Test Tool runs on Windows server.
➢ The capacity testing tool only allows for MicroStrategy users and LDAP authentication.
➢ Connecting to versions of MicroStrategy without MicroStrategy Library will require the user to provide a list of
which objects to test.
