ABSTRACT:
A database management system (DBMS) benchmark testing system for testing performance of a plurality of DBMS's stores both DBMS independent and DBMS specific files in a computer memory. The DBMS specific files include performance statistics collection procedures for each said DBMS, procedures for performing various DBMS operations for each DBMS, and environmental parameter definition files for each DBMS for specifying DBMS environmental parameters that control the configuration and operation of each DBMS. DBMS independent test scripts specify operations to be performed by specified ones of the DBMS's so as to test performance of the DBMS's, and specify performance statistics to be collected by the performance statistics collection procedures while the DBMS performs the specified operations. Test result files store benchmark test results, which include performance statistics for each benchmark test executed by the system under the control of one of the test scripts, as well as information denoting the DBMS tested, the test script used to perform the benchmark test, the operations performed by the DBMS tested, the DBMS environmental parameters for the DBMS tested. DBMS independent post test analysis procedures are used to analyze the information stored in the test result files. The system is modular and extendable, allowing the addition of new benchmark tests and/or the addition of DBMS's that utilize the DBMS independent facilities of the system.
