Opentext Professionals

Key Responsibilities - **Gathering & Defining Performance Requirements**: - Work with stakeholders (product owners, business analysts) to understand non-functional requirements: response times, throughput, concurrency, scalability, reliability. - Define performance goals, SLAs (Service Level Agreements), benchmarks. - Estimate performance testing effort, define strategy. - **Designing Test Scenarios & Test Plans**: - Identify real-world usage profiles: peak loads, typical user behaviour, spike or stress scenarios. - Design test cases for load, stress, endurance, spike, soak testing, etc. - Determine test data, environment configuration to mimic production where feasible. - **Scripting & Test Setup**: - Create performance test scripts using tools like LoadRunner (OpenText Professional Performance Engineering), JMeter, etc. - Parameterize scripts: variable data, think time, pacing. - Set up test environments: servers, network, infrastructure, virtual machines, possibly cloud setups. - **Executing Tests**: - Run performance/load/stress tests (increasing user loads or data volumes) to measure behaviour. - Use diagnostic tools for tracing, profiling, logging. - **Analysis & Bottleneck Identification**: - Collect results: response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilisation, etc. - Analyze where performance degrades: code, database, network, external dependencies. - Isolate root causes and suggest optimizations (e.g. query tuning, caching, architecture changes). - **Optimization & Tuning**: - Work with dev, infra, DB teams to implement performance improvements. - Possibly refactor code/components if needed. - **Reporting & Communication**: - Produce performance test reports: key metrics, risks, deviations vs targets, recommendations. - Present findings to stakeholders in clear, non-technical terms when needed. - Document performance test strategy, scripts, data, environment for reproducibility. - **Continuous Integration / Delivery / Shift-Left**: - Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines so performance is validated early and continuously. - Advocate "shift-left" performance testing: bringing performance concerns early in design & development, not just at end. - Possibly also monitor system in production (shift-right) using real-user monitoring, APM tools, to catch issues live. - **Tooling & Automation**: - Develop, maintain frameworks for performance testing. - Automate repetitive tasks: script generation, test execution, result collection & basic analysis. - Use or integrate with performance monitoring tools, dashboards, diagnostic tools. - **Collaboration & Best Practices**: - Collaborate with development, QA, operations, infrastructure teams. - Establish best practices, performance engineering standards (coding, architecture, test design). - Mentor junior team members. - **Environment & Infrastructure**: - Ensure test environments simulate production closely (hardware, network, load). - Manage or coordinate resource allocation for test infrastructure. - Reproduce production-like conditions: data size, concurrency, geographic distribution, etc. - **Risk Management**: - Identify performance risks (capacity limits, scaling issues, third-party dependencies). - Plan for worst-case scenarios and peak usage, include fallback or mitigation strategies. - Ensure performance doesn’t degrade with versions, configurations, etc. Skills & Competencies Needed - Deep understanding of performance concepts: latency, throughput, concurrency, scalability, capacity planning. - Experience with performance testing tools (OpenText LoadRunner / Professional Performance Engineering, JMeter, etc.). - Familiarity with diagnostic/profiling tools, APMs (e.g., Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics). - Scripting/programming skills for test automation (often languages like Java, Python, JavaScript, etc.). - Good analytical skills: interpreting metrics, logs, statistical understanding. - Communication: able to explain technical findings to non-technical stakeholders. - Collaboration: working across teams (dev, QA, infra, business).
