The Performance Kit

A comprehensive overview of web service performance factors. Includes a complete test environment to check scalability and performance of applications running on IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic Server, BEA WebLogic Workshop, and the SunONE Application Server.

Enterprise information manager choices for Web Service infrastructure are critical to deploying well performing, highly reliable and scalable systems for running Web Services. We receive calls everyday from software developers, QA analysts and IT managers wanting to know:

  • What are the most important considerations to build reliable Web Services?
  • What equipment do I need?
  • What is the best way to deploy Web Services?
  • What is the best software platform to build my Web service?

The Web Services Performance Kit helps information managers understand the differences between the Sun Java System Application Server (formerly Sun One,) BEA WebLogic Server and IBM WebSphere Application Server. The Performance Kit features detailed step-by-step instructions to configure a Test Web Service on each server, plus a unique Web Service test utility called TestMaker to show the actual performance of each server.

Inside The Performance Kit you will find these things:

  • Easy-to-read instructions describing how to build and test Web Services on the Sun Java System Application Server (formerly Sun One,) BEA WebLogic Server and IBM WebSphere Server.
  • Test Web Service (TWS) - a free open-source Web Service that simulates a database-driven Web service.
  • Performance_Agent - a free intelligent test agent that will determine TWS scalability and performance. These metrics are key to building the right datacenter and having happy customers.
  • TestMaker - a free open-source utility to run Performance_Agent and to create agents for your own Web service testing.
