Designing approach analysis on small-scale software performance testing tools

Currently, most software performance testing tools in the market are large ones designated for enterprises. Aiming at the demand of small-sized and individual customers´ conduction of software performance testing, the paper proposes an approach for designing and realizing a small tool for testing. Core design refers to simulating multi-user concurrent operation by simultaneous execution of multithreading and measuring performance of the system tested through whether each threading responses in a correct manner as well as testing data such as period of responding. Testing tool, which is realized by Java language, consists of three modules of case management, test implementation and test report. Multiple designing modes are utilized in a combined manner during designing, which makes the designing scheme a simple one with high efficiency and easy to expand. The market of performance testing is developing in a rapid manner and researching software performance test is gaining increasingly significance.
