AS Performance Workbench (free)

Project Description

AS Performance Workbench is a scalability testing application for Analysis Services Cubes. It puts a GUI around monitoring counters, uses multiple threads to simulate high loads, and produces beautiful HTML output documenting your test results.

The goal for AS Performance Workbench is to provide a user-friendly, highly efficient scalability testing and documentation tool for SSAS.

This application has the following features:

The ability to use multiple threads to simultaneously generate query workload in a way that simulates multiple simultaneous application users.
A function to generate query workload in random order across threads to produce a random workload profile consistent with users taking their own path through the application.
Random “think time” intervals when performing “simulated user population” testing.
Functions to collect detailed performance counter statistics and present this information graphically, including annotations on graphs to indicate query failures.
Automatic production of HTML reports suitable for use in interpreting test results and briefing business users on the test outcome.
