Performance testing : Performance measurement of web application

The main objective of this project was to design and implement a performance test which can provide relevant information for stakeholders. The test was designed for testing the performance of newly developed store which can be improved in the future. An implementation of the new store was based on IBM WebSphere Commerce that is a software platform for cross-channel commerce. E-commerce is a general concept of covering business transaction between organizations of various types. The implementation of designed test is a process which depends on used software tools. The test was created with an open source application Apache JMeter which is able to measure performance of the web application. One of the main goals of this thesis was to design a testing scenario which is able to simulate a flow of customer behavior on the store web pages. Subsequently implement the designed test via Apache JMeter, execute it and provide desired data. Results of the thesis are managed by Jenkins CI that is an integration server which accelerates the software development process through automation. In the future the test can be extended with parts that will be considered for testing the performance
