[lanka swamy]

Hi All,

Need a small Help...i know its a Weird question..

I hope there are many people in this forum who had done performance testing for a POS(point of sale) software
.can someone please help on few queries  like 
1)what should be the approch or Process in performacne testing POS software..are there any standards SLA or what kind of bottlenecks we can expect in performance testing of POS software.


It is a Desktop application which is integrated with ERP..and is Load runner the best fit for these kind of applications(POS).

Many Thanks,
Raggas...

Yes. 

 

POS falls into the general class of thick client server (for most solutions).   There may be web POS solutions deployed, but I have not run across them on the performance front, with perhaps the closest being a web services API for purchases from kiosk partners of a cellular provider.  Standard processes apply for requirements collection, building the load profile, verifying the load profile against observable data.  Standard processes apply for LOE estimation based upon protocol type.   Your requirements will dictate your SLA.  Monitoring and deep dive for bottleneck identification & resolution is architecture dependent (as is with most deployed applications).

 

This should be a non-exotic performance test event for you, with the ability to leverage standard processes and procedures from other performance testing engagements.

I thought you are trying to test a piece of SHxT software.
