Summary

This task The task of assessing the performance characteristics as defined in the performance testing plan is incomplete.  We have settled on the issues needing testing and have created a plan for this work.  However, implementing even a basic set of tests takes more work than can be accomplished with the resources in the time available before the end of this groups charter.Regardless we have start The plan has defined the classes of operations and scenarios needing testing. We have started building the test infrastructure using the testing tool, Grinder. Additionally, initial tests for simple ingest have been designed, executed, and documented (on a standalone system, not in the automated test infrastructure).

Next Steps

Based on the groundwork laid by the technical working group in defining the automated test framework, and the pattern for building tests:

• Test framework: https://github.com/fcrepo4-labs/fcrepo4-packer-aws-grinder
• Initial tests: https://github.com/fcrepo4-labs/fcrepo-test-grinder

We are now in a position to build out and execute a more complete suite of tests with the target of revealing performance weaknesses.

  The Grinder and plan to deploy the infrastructure (and tests).  The test infrastructure and tests will be installed in the designated Github repositories.  Testing can proceed in parallel with F4 development.
