Workflow Profiles

A workflow profile for performance testing should contain the exact actions that a client would perform to exercise the repository under test. Sections that should be timed to performance should be clearly marked.

Workflow profiles should be combined with Setup profiles to form a coherent test scenario.  The concrete actions taken during the workflow will vary, depending on the nature of the Setup source data.

For example:

 Indicates a timed section.

1. Repeat 1000 times:
   1. Retrieve one container randomly selected
   2. Retrieve one binary from that container. 
   3. Replace that binary with a sequence of random bytes of the same length. 
   4. Retrieve fixity information for that binary. 
2. Repeat 100 times:
   1. Delete one container randomly selected.
