Tamás Bőhm is the System Architect for TitanSim at Ericsson’s R&D center in Budapest. Together with his team, he is responsible for the architectural design of this load test software. Earlier he was a consultant in a pilot project on Model-Based Testing. Before joining Ericsson, he was a researcher at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Challenges and trade-offs in performance testing

In order to build high-quality products, testing their performance and capacity is similarly important than testing their functionality. However, performance testing poses very different challenges than functional testing: it typically requires the simulation of millions of users using a wide range of services while monitoring the behavior of the system. The presentation gives an overview of how this is solved by different types of performance test tools in telecommunications and by TitanSim, an Ericsson-internal load test tool.
