About Pacing Calculator

Pacing calculator application was designed to help Load and Performance testers to accurately emulate production load. Pacing will determine the pace at which the load test executes. Pacing helps in controlling a load test and helps in creating accurate load on the application under test. The app provides a step by step guide in calculating pacing values. Group Scenario pacing calculator has also been added in order to split pacing values calculated. Actual Transactions tab helps in getting the number of transactions required in order to get the production results. Finally you would be able to save upto 10 results and email them straight from pacing application.​

Load & Performance Testing with Pacing: Tips
  • You would need to obtain network traffic on load balancer from your network administrator group or IT operations group which is in bits per second (bps)​

  • You should convert the bits per second values to bytes per second and this value will be your throughput that you would need in order to obtain your production load.

  • If you are unable to obtain the throughput then simply get the number of unique logins or site visits to your apps and use them as transactions directly.

  • If your application is a webservice or  it does not need think time then enter the think time value as 0. If you are using think time do not exceed it more than 8 seconds.

  • For instance,if your application architecture contains 4 web ,4 app and 2 SQL servers and your load testing environment contains 1web 1 app and 2 SQL severs with the same server configuration as production you can still obtain production load by simply multiplying  the Transactions per day obtained on the Actual tab with the value .25(1/4) and then calculate pacing for that number of calculations.

  • Lastly ramp up and ramp down compensation has already been added so please use ramp up and ramp down while using this app.
