“…Most of the product related issues could be resolved if reliability tests are conducted on the workflow as those that need performance benchmarking. Capacity of a unit of production system can be determined by monitoring requests per second (RPS), requests per page and number of active users (van Eijl, 2002; Sia and Ho, 1997).…”

“…If results border near in excess of 80 percent scalability for multi‐processors, tests may be executed with 8, 12 and 16 processors in a single unit of system. This process depends on how important and critical it is to develop a thorough capacity planning roadmap for implementations (Ferrari et al , 1983; Sia and Ho, 1997). A key objective of the capacity planning process is that adequate capacity exists for the delivery of information resources required and that the services can be delivered without declines in system service levels (Davis, 1991).…”

Purpose-The primary purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive strategy for performance, reliability and scalability (PSR) testing of multi-tier web applications. Design/methodology/approach-The strategy for PSR testing is presented primarily through examination of the intangible knowledge base in the PSR testing field. The paper also draws on relevant recent work conducted in the area of software performance evaluation. Findings-The study revealed that appropriate testing procedures are critical for the success of web-based multi-tier applications. However, there was little academic work that collectively focused on PSR testing issues. This paper provides step-by-step testing procedures to ensure that web-based applications are functioning well to meet user demands. Research limitations/implications-Given the rapid changes in technology and business environments, more applied research will be needed in the area of PSR testing to ensure the successful functioning of web-based applications. For future studies, structured interviews or case-study methods could be employed to present the views of online companies. Originality/value-This paper provides a comprehensive strategy and the suggested steps for managers and technical personnel to ensure that the multi-tier, web-based applications are effective, scalable and reliable.
