Appvance IQ Load Generator Table
Estimated capacity per server or VM (varies greatly with application complexity)
Assumes E7 or newer Intel cores or EPYC AMD cores @3Ghz+.
Refer to the table below to determine Test Node capacity and configuration needs:
CPU Cores | Minimum Memory | Minimum UX-Level Browsers | Max likely UX-Level Browsers | HAR Protocol Level VU | JMeter Protocol Level tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | 8 GB | 4 | 8 | 100 | 20 |
6 | 12 GB | 6 | 12 | 150 | 30 |
8 | 16 GB | 8 | 16 | 250 | 40 |
12 | 24 GB | 12 | 24 | 500 | 60 |
16 | 32 GB | 16 | 32 | 1000 | 80 |
32 | 64 GB | 32 | 32 | 2500 | 160 |
64 | 128 GB | 32 | 64 | 5000 | 320 |
128 | 256 GB | 32 | 64 | 10000 | 640 |
Using the latest Chrome browser, poor linear scalability is experienced after 30 browsers regardless of the size of the test node.
Example System Requirement Calculation
If a test specification requires UX tests to run 1000 virtual users, and each test node has an 8 Core CPU with 12 GB RAM, then 20 test nodes are required.
Calculated as:
- Test Nodes Required = Total Virtual Users / Virtual Users per Test Node
- (from the above example) 20 Test Nodes = 1000 Virtual Users / 50 Virtual Users per Test Node
