Athena WMS Test Framework
Speed Up Warehouse Management System Performance Test Phases and Increase Test Effectiveness
Athena WMS Performance Testing Framework
Our experience, gathered over the years, is that many companies struggle to develop robust and repeatable performance testing for their critical Warehouse Management System (WMS) on time and within budget. The reasons for this are many but usually include the following:
Not being able to reliably handle fleeting RF Gun screen messages
Making additional calls into the WMS database adding unrealistic extra load to the testdevelopment
The bloating of WMS database tables with large quantities of test data that can unrealistically affect performance
Failure to simulate the flow of stock through the warehouse due to each test script being completely self-contained
Wasting time and effort diagnosing and rectifying performance issues that turn out to be caused by the test set-up rather than the load applied
Using our Athena WMS Test Framework, you can shorten your performance testing phase in the delivery of WMS applications and improve the quality and effectiveness of the tests by:
Reducing time to develop each performance test script
Improving script and test robustness leading to less test re-runs
Simulating the warehouse stock workflow accurately (inbound and outbound)
Enabling warehouse workflow modelling (from Peak Hour to full Day In the Life Of and Black Friday testing)
Reliably handing fleeting RF Gun screen messages
Eliminating unrealistic additional calls into the WMS database
Ensuring that WMS database tables remain at realistic sizes
Preventing the generation of artificial performance test issues
The Athena WMS Test Framework has been developed utilising our Performance Engineering expertise and is:
Available for the LoadRunner and JMeter performance test tools
Designed for JDA (BlueYonder) WMS
Proven on multiple projects
