Great article by Matt. It definitely explains the process of WebLogic Performance Tuning & Testing well.

Arcturus (www.arcturustech.com) can help make the process of WebLogic Performance Tuning easy. AutoPilot WL, our flagship product completely automates WebLogic tuning process.

AutoPilot uses a wizard based approach, it takes a load script, generates load and monitors j2ee application & WebLogic's behavior (including transactions, WebLogic threads, ejbs, jms, jdbc, various pools and a lot more..). In the process, AutoPilot analyzes WebLogic & application's cumulative behavior after each run and makes appropriate adjustments to get the optimum performance. AutoPilot also automatically bounces WebLogic server as and when needed in the process. AutoPilot continues this process unless desired goals are achieved or certain user defined thresholds are reached. WebLogic tuning is in a way a misnomer, it is actually aligning WebLogic as per your application and environment's requirements. You can download an evaluation version of AutoPilot at the following url and try it for yourself.

It is recommended by Arcturus to use AutoPilot Advisor before tuning. Advisor analyzes complete application environment for any configuration related issues using its in built knowledge and gives recommendations. It is like attaching your WebLogic environment to a computer that runs a 1000 point inspection on it and either fixes issues or advises how to fix them. Advisor is a great way to find out where there is room for improvement even before you get into Performance Testing & Tuning. It even guides with the relevant BEA CRs that can save an outage situation. We recommend CRs based on their applicability (not blindly).

We also understand no matter how much effort one puts into an application, we are bound to find apllication/weblogic issues that cause WebLogic server to hang. AutoPilot Detector and Blackbox handle those situations and provide you with an instant root cause report. Feel free to drop me an email (deepak@arcturustech.com) if you any questions at all.

Performance testing a J2EE application can be a daunting and seemingly confusing task if you don't approach it with the proper plan in place. As with any software development process, you must gather requirements, understand the business needs, and lay out a formal schedule well in advance of the actual testing.
