SharePoint Sunday: Performance Testing
May 31, 2009
If you have a zippy SharePoint system, you won’t need to read this post. If you have users complaining about 30 second or longer wait times for basic operations like saving and opening objects, you will want to note JOPX’s “Web Testing (and Load Testing) SharePoint 2007 with Visual Studio 2008” here. Last week I watched a SharePoint installation cause employees to open documents before lunch. The idea was that the system would display the document by the time the worker drank a bottle of water and ate a cheese sandwich. Believe it or not, that 30 minute interval was not sufficient. What’s even more remarkable is that SharePoint users in this organization are resigned to such performance issues.
Among the performance sources and code snippets are these useful items:
- Load Testen van SharePoint met VSTS 2008 en VSTT Load Agents – Deel 1 (Dutch only). We fired this up and were able to figure out what to do reasonably well. The sticky wickets were easily resolved with a trip to Google Translate at http://translate.google.com
- SharePoint (Performance, Stress) Load Testing
Useful post, JOPX.
