We'll get you testing your MQ application in an hour

From our experience testing IBM WebSphere MQ messaging systems, we’ve developed the unique Mentora MQ Accelerator to shorten the time-to-first-test and eliminate script maintenance overhead. You'll be able to measure message round-trip times though your consuming applications and calculate message throughput rates at various load levels.  We'll even show you how to parameterize IDs or other values in the messages your applications expect.  

What is the Mentora MQ Accelerator?

  • An HP LoadRunner add-on
  • An out-of-the-box set of LoadRunner MQ scripts, ready to be configured to your MQ environment
  • A pre-configured Controller scenario file and an Analysis template for graphing results
  • An installation guide to set up your LoadRunner and MQ testing environment correctly
  • A one hour webex with an MQ expert to show you how to parameterize scripts, design your scenario, monitor the test with MQ Explorer, generate and interpret results

One Hour To First Test!

  • Features
  • Benefits
  • Technical Requirements
 
  • Zero development time
    A user-extensible LoadRunner MQ framework, with an out-of-the-box set of base scripts for putting and getting messages, enables you to run your first test in minutes by simply editing the script parameter file with your MQ configuration details.
  • Zero script maintenance time
    Configure your scripts to test multiple environments (Dev, Test, Prod) by simply adding multiple configuration rows in the script parameter file.
  • Message round-trip times
    The actual round-trip times are obtained using custom code that queries the MQ Message Header of each individual message.
  • Intelligent load management
    Scripts have built-in intelligence to self-throttle as your queues cross a specified capacity threshold to deliver an effective scalability test of the end-to-end MQ and application environment.
  • Dynamic Transaction names
    Dynamic transaction names capture the scenario Group Name, the virtual user’s ID, and the round-trip or one-way setting, yielding highly granular results for detailed analyses. For example, comparing one group’s message round-trip times on local queue A to another group’s times on a remote queue.
  • Round-trip Time over Load Template
    Round-trip graph template shows the min/max/avg/90th percentile times in milliseconds, and the message count for each Vuser-Group.
  • Model your full application messaging requirements
    Framework enables you to model complex, multi-server, multi-queue, client and server MQ configurations, and transmit large volumes of actual message traffic to consuming applications.
 
  • Fast time-to-first test
    A user-extensible LoadRunner MQ framework enables you to run your first test in minutes by simply editing the script parameter file with your MQ configuration details.
  • Fast time-to-test across environments
    Quickly select the environment you want to test by easily marking the row you want to use in a given test.
  • True measure of application scalability
    Automatic measurement of round-trip time provides the data you – and your business stakeholders – want and need: important data not provided by LoadRunner.
  • Flood your MQ infrastructure without overloading it
    Our scripts have built-in intelligence to self-throttle as your queues cross a specified threshold as the application reaches capacity.
  • All the tools you need to analyze scalability
    Analysis template enables you to visualize scalability over load, compare round-trip times for different queue managers on local vs. remote servers, and obtain total messages processed.
  • Realistic load scenarios
    Configurable parameters for every available MQ property, options for message directories containing any number and size of application message files, and messages and script parameters loaded into virtual memory for fast and robust script execution.
 
  • Hardware Requirements

    Same as required for the HP LoadRunner Controller on Windows, plus 1.5 GB available disk for installing IBM MQ

  • Software Requirements

    HP LoadRunner 9.5
    MQ Tester 3.30
    SOA Bundle Vusers
    IBM WebSphere MQ 5.3 or 6.0
