Performance Analyst/IT Analyst

Responsibilities:

• Performance analysis and applied customized performance testing strategy dat includes load, stress and scalability testing for a complex web-based Confidential application Lotus Quickr wif Websphere as teh application server, DB2 as teh backend database and Tivoli Directory Server as teh LDAP server for authentication and authorization (single sign-on, JAAS). Also used Apache/Tomcat as a hosting environment for several J2EE applications. Defined, developed and executed Performance Test engineering tasks, which include developing and implementation of Performance engineering methodology, Performance test process, Test requirements and analysis, monitoring/analyzing Test results, collecting Test metrics and conducting Test reporting.
• Developed scenarios for performance testing.
• In order to achieve acceptable response time (for our case each transaction should be below 2 seconds), tried to pinpoint different bottlenecks at different levels like teh application level, database level, OS level or teh network level by constantly increasing teh load on teh system
• After each run, perform detailed analysis like finding teh behavior of Garbage Collection (GC), measured different Db2 metrics like total Select SQL Statements Executed, maximum number of concurrent connections, time waited on locks, etc. to make sure teh application is not in a resource deadlock
• When teh results of teh load test indicate dat performance of teh system does not meet its expected goals, tried different performance tuning
• Has also used various internal Confidential tools like Heap Analyzer, Confidential Pattern Modeling and Analysis Tool for Java Garbage Collector, Thread Analyzer and DB2 Analysis Tool
• Opened defects through CMVC which is a defect tracking tool if their are any issues wif product code.
