Benchmark Factory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benchmark Factory for Databases is a performance and scalability testing tool for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 UDB, Sybase ASE, MySQL and other databases using ODBC.
Benchmark Factory generates load against the database by replaying production workload, running user-defined SQL scripts or using out-of-the-box industry standard benchmarks such as TPC-B, TPC-C, TPC-D, and AS3AP. It simulates concurrent users running database transactions to uncover performance bottlenecks pre-production. It provides stress tests to determine limits of scalability and performance.
Benchmark Factory evaluates how database code such as SQL, PL/SQL, and Transact-SQL scale under different concurrent user loads.
Benchmark Factory compares performance and scalability between database platforms, which is helpful during database upgrade migrations (such as SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, or Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g), database platform evaluations (such as running on Linux versus running on Microsoft Windows), and when deploying and tuning Oracle RAC to determine the required number of nodes.
Benchmark Factory is produced by Quest Software.
