Abstract:
A method for comparing the performance of two devices comprising:defining a workload; providing a workload object which includes a transaction generator; applying a first test case to a first device, the first test case being produced by executing the transaction generator on a first test object, the first test object including a plurality of first interface properties, and wherein executing the transaction generator on the first test object produces a first plurality of transactions according to the plurality of first interface properties, the first plurality of transactions stimulating the defined workload in the first device; applying a second test case to a second device, the second test case being produced by executing the transaction generator on a second test object, the second test object including a plurality of second interface properties, and wherein executing the transaction generator on the second test object produces a second plurality of transactions according to the plurality of second interface properties, the second plurality of transactions stimulating the defined workload in the second device; and comparing a first test result from the first test case and a corresponding second test result from the second test case.
