Minutes

• Documents updated:
  • "How to Conduct Performance Tests and Share Results" document is updated. Yinlin Chen didn't find any issues on Colin Gross R script using Test 4 result. Pending Danny Bernstein's response on which Test cause the header mismatch error.
  • Andrew will review the document and test;
  • "Performance Test Result template" document has also been updated.
• Test 4 was run against 4.7.3; will run against 4.7.4. 
• Need someone to signup Test 1. Test 1 can be conducted in AWS using grant credit.
• When running performance test, if there is no error, run 7 x 24hr then end the experiment. 
• If users wishing to help out want to run tests in Amazon, they should contact Yinlin Chen and he will create accounts.
• Funding is available through June 2018. We should use the funds as soon as possible to make sure it doesn't go to waste.
• Yinlin Chen is planning a presentation for Samvera Connect to outline the work of this group.
  
  • It would also be good to get feedback from the Samvera community about the sorts of tests that would be most valuable to them.
  • Esmé Cowles' document on real-world performance is also relevant in this context.
• There are two additional areas for testing: the Java client and the Camel components. It could be challenging to devise tests for the latter without some concrete examples of how Camel is being used.
• API-X might be an area where we could find concrete uses of Camel that could be tested.
• Target have all the Fedora 4 performance test result by Sep 11 that week.
• Next meeting will be September 18, please mark your calendar. 

Actions

• Colin to update scripts to support old and new spreadsheet fields
• Danny to verify and document when Colin is done
