Automated performance and load tests for a web service

The existing interface for creating contracts in the IRM trading system will be replaced by a web service. In contrast to the file-based interface, contracts and the corresponding load profiles with terms of one day to three years can be created in one transaction using the web service. The process, starting with the import into the upstream ordering system and ending with the creation of contracts in IRM, is fully automated, depending on the order type. PTA provides support here in the execution of load and performance tests. The tests are carried out automatically using powershell scripts. As test results, the runtimes for contract creation are logged. In addition, database utilization and the execution behavior of database operations are used to evaluate the web service. The determination of the database information is done by the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
