Updated on September 10, 2021

Before you deploy your new Pega Marketing application, establish a performance benchmark. This allows subsequent, iterative performance tests against the baseline to help identify any degradation in performance resulting from development efforts.

Pega has very well described performance testing procedures; these are described here:

https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/performance/performance-0 

 

To do a complete performance test, performance testing should cover the traditional tests of load, stress, soak, and scale. This is typically performed by the client’s team.

Why

Performance testing should prove that the system will operate at an acceptable level of performance in the live environment, when taking into account production volumes and loads.

How

The entry criteria for performance testing to start are:

  • Test scripts exist to prove the SLAs
  • A controlled test environment is available
  • The application is loaded and test data is available

The exit criteria for testing to finish are:

  • Test reports are available that describes the tests and results

 

This article describes a number of best practises for Performance Load testing.
