• Responsible for load testing on Oracle Application.
• Identified system capacity, system scalability and stability under stable load as well as under pick load time.
• Load Runner was used to simulate multiple Vuser scenarios. Defined Rendezvous point to create intense load on the server and thereby measure the server performance under load.
• Verified the connectivity from Controller to the Load Generator. Utilized the IP address of Load Generators to add them to the Controller.
• Traced deadlock and expensive SQL queries and test procedures (MS SQL Profile, Oracle Performance Manager).
• Responsible for developing baseline Scenarios and Load Testing Harnesses for load/performance testing of the application.
• Responsible for application and components behavior with heavier loads and optimizing server configurations.
• Performed testing for No load, Medium Load and Full Load and analyzed the system response.
• Responsible for performance monitoring and analysis of response time & memory leaks using throughput graphs.
• Cooperated with Basis Team to understand requirements and issues around test execution environment.
• Validated testing infrastructure (connectivity, scripting/protocol compatibility and virtual user capacity of hardware).
• Used MQClient protocol to test websphere MQ.
• Developed and enhanced scripts using LoadRunner VuGen and designed scenarios using Performance Center to generate realistic load on application under test.
• Traced Java methods and database queries execution using J2EE Diagnostic Tool (Load Runner Add-In).
• Provided statistics on the buffers, workload processing, CPU and memory utilization, database activity, system errors, buffer swaps and table locks.
• Traced client- side cache utilization using Ethereal (Network Protocol Analyzer - open source tool).
• Monitored system resources, memory usage on system level as well as on process level to identify memory leak and CPU Utilization during the users load.
• Traced how load balancer manage users load across clustered nodes using (IP Spoofing - Load Runner build -in functionality).
• Developed performance test plan as well as developed details performance analysis reports, Graphs (include Load Runner build -in graphs and MS Excel - custom graphs).
• Coordinated creation of stress environments to conduct stress\load testing.
• Conducted Load Test for multiple users using Load Runner.
• Extensively Used Load Runner Monitors to identify bottlenecks.

Performance Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Determined performance requirements and goals based on requirements and architecture.
• Monitored resources to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Identified functionality and performance issues, including: deadlock conditions, database connectivity problems, and system crashes under load.
• Involved in test environment build and designed Load (capacity) model on the basis of current volume and projected percentage increase in volume.
• Developed Vugen test scripts in Loadrunner for Oracle forms and HTTP protocols.
• Interacted directly with developers, project managers for the development, execution and reporting of all testing efforts.
• Executed Tests through the Controller including ramp-up and ramp-down of several hundred virtual users including run-time configuration, etc.
• Established tests for applications with fully developed User Interfaces, and those without fully developed User Interfaces.
• Utilized Database, Network, Application server and WebLogic Monitors during the execution to identify bottlenecks, bandwidth problems, infrastructure problems, and scalability and reliability benchmarks.
• Configured LoadRunner monitors to monitor environment performance. Monitor performance of individual JVMs using LoadRunner Websphere monitor.
• Reported test results and interpretation to Management. actively took ownership of defects and coordinate with different groups from initial finding of defects to final resolution.
