5 Test / User Configuration

The following tests were conducted using IBM Rational Performance Tester Version: 8.2.1, to
simulate the multiple users performing their various tasks over a specific period of time.

There are 2 User Groups.

1. SharePoint Users
2. NetWeaver Users
which perform the following steps:
SharePoint Users

Go to an Announcment
Log out.
NetWeaver Users
Log in
Go to the configured NetWeaver Universal Worklist page
Click the SAPoffice Mails Tab
Log out.

Reliability Test Configurations

For the reliability tests, virtual users with a 12 second think time executed over 48 hours were run. The
total number of users was gradually ramped up until the total number of users ran on average 50% CPU
on the production cluster. The number of users where 110.
