Download of large amount of content as single user operation.  This may require any number of repository operations to accomplish. Whether content and metadata stays fixed from the beginning to the end of the operation is to be defined. This is needs consideration a whole intellectual entity, graph or DIP is considered the unit.  Also we need to consider what this means for continuous access operations.

Tests

Baseline and Simple Concurrency Testing Matrix

The tests in the table will start with a single load injector and worker to use as a baseline.  Then each of the tests are executed to test concurrency with increasing numbers of load injectors and workers until performance declines and/or error rates become large.

Concurrency Tests

The tests in the table combine two or more different tests from the table above. It starts with concurrent operation of at least two workers, one for each simple test.  Then each of the tests are executed with increasing numbers of load injectors and workers until performance declines and/or error rates become large.Concurrency Tests

These scenarios expand on the previous single load injector tests to use multiple read, write, and read-write tests via the REST api.

If the group think this is useful then I can break it into a matrix.

Note: all tests need to be taken until:

  • a steady state is achieved

  • a  declining state is achieved

  • Fedora 4 no longer respondsexhibits high error rates or stops responding

Load Injectors

  • 1 Load Injector to provide a baseline similar to the previous testing regimen

  • 3 Load Injectors

  • 6 Load Injectors (since this is where Fedora 3 starts to exhibit limits)

  • 12 Load Injectors (since this is where Fedora 3 always exhibits limits)

  • 24 Load Injectors

...

  • Step up rates X2 until flat line

  • Then proceed to declining response and failure , high error rates or non-response
