Simulated Multi-user Operations SharePoint Stress Testing Tool

In modern enterprises, employees use a lot of information resources is not structuredrelational database, but rather as Word, Excel, pictures, etc. These types of unstructureddata, in the traditional sense of the database is not well on the non- Structured documentstorage and management, how to organize effective security management of thesedocuments, it has become imperative. And Microsoft's SharePoint, the aim is to want tohelp companies develop intelligent portals, this site can be seamlessly connected to the user,group, and information resources to enable people to make better use of business processrelated information, can more easily manage data and document content, more efficientsharing of data, to really give the information to work.Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is an integrated suite of server capabilitiesthat provides comprehensive content management and enterprise search, acceleratingshared business processes and to facilitate cross-boundary information sharing services inorder to facilitate a better understanding of customers business, thereby helping to improveorganizational efficiency. Corporate members and customers through Intranet, Extranet, andInternet to easily access and organize stored in SharePoint in a variety of forms ofdocumentation.Currently, SharePoint has been more recognition of users around the world. Use aclient increasing year by year, users for SharePoint is also a gradual deepening ofunderstanding, with the deepening of applications, particularly non-structural data,widespread use of, data security and protection has become increasingly important. Somore and more SharePoint-based data storage, data backup, data restoration and otherrelated products are also increasing. However, these products in the development andtesting phase often manual operation, to check whether the product's features can beachieved, whether there is an unknown error occurred. However, manual testing cannotachieve much faster actual use of SharePoint, SharePoint-based platform release of the siteafter the daily, hourly, or even every minute of all user access, during operation, and eventhe same time, there are multiple users to operate at the same time. In this way, we cannotguarantee the data by manual handling operations carried out to restore the data backuptested whether the performance of the product under pressure to achieve such requirements. Discussed in this paper is based on the testing tool was born under such circumstances.This paper discusses the stress testing tools can simulate the user of the SharePoint site,the most basic operations, this tool can simulate multiple users in a short period of time tofocus on the Item-level data from the operation of the site, as well as users, userpermissions operation. Which includes File upload, modify, delete, Generic types of Item tocreate, modify, delete, and upload and delete Item attachments, folders, upload, modify,delete, users increases, the increase in user groups, permission to modify such an operation.You can also test products for the data after the backup and compare, verify that the correctbackup and restore.In practice, found that stress testing tool can basically satisfy the required testingdivision of the contents of the function can be simulated operation of embodiment in a shorttime a large number of data operations in order to achieve the purpose of stress testing. Also,tools can operate simultaneously multiple users to test the reliability of data backup torestore. Therefore, this article discusses stress test tool is in use with a simulated operationimplementation of a simple XML file just by setting the configuration information in orderto simulate the real operation, the various movements independent of each other, even if thesame action the implementation of different users do not interact ; simulated action-rich,basically covering all the SharePoint site users the advantages of common action. Of course,in use also found some problems, mainly reflected in the actions available to the user toconfigure the interface friendly enough, and the simulation of movements is still notcomprehensive enough.However, for data backup software testing sector, stress test tools have been enough toprovide a simulated operating environment, and has a positive meaning: First, testers canavoid the complexity of the manual on the SharePoint site through a simple set , the toolcan simulate the effect of testing required for the operation. Second, it can be stress tested,and tested, you can simulate the simultaneous multi-user a variety of operations that canhandle large amounts of data in a short time the content, so the software can be testedproducts, stress test, the product reliability testing. Once again, you can save time, becausetesters need only a simple set, you can use a computer to replace manual operation, whichcould greatly save time, and you can also significantly reduce the labor intensity of testers.In this paper, through stress-testing tool for the design and implementation ofknowledge used in the introduction, as well as implementation and testing proceduresdetailed analysis of the stress testing tools so that readers have an intuitive understanding ofthe same time, the paper also pointed out that the test tool there are still some problems and deficiencies need to work in the future to continue to improve.
