What factors affect initial startup performance and test suite loading time?
Factors include the following: • Size of the test suite. • Whether the test suite is run in the JT harness GUI, or using batch mode. The GUI has higher overhead and is slower. • Use of the binary test finder. The binary test finder uses an optimized test description format that significantly improves the startup performance of large test suites. • Amount of physical memory available on the machine (if it is in limited supply). • Location of the test suite being loaded. If the test suite is unpacked to a local file system, performance is probably better than if it is accessed over a network. • What factors affect how fast the test suite runs? A: Factors include the following: • Test framework overhead. • Proper scheduling of tasks. The JT harness (and your test framework if you use one) can be configured for optimal performance in your test environment. • Concurrent test execution. This functionality can be provided by either by the harness or the test framework. • The speed of the comm
