I have listed some generic questions which can be asked to a potential customer in response to an RFP on performance testing
- Will you provide any performance data that has been gathered on the existing application? If you don’t have the data on hand, will you help make it available?
- How many Performance contractors will be involved in the project team?
- Are there any metrics for success or expectations for future volume? Does the organization have a performance testing technology that they regularly use? Does the Application already have service levels and performance levels defined?
- What is the total number of users that will access the application?
- Description of your existing software systems, e.g., Web server, database, application server, network operating system, messaging, monitoring, network management, etc.
- Description of in-house IT staff, including their areas of expertise, be it networking, systems management, development, etc.
- Can the application provide high availability systems? What is considered high availability?
- How is load balancing performed?
- Does the application have processes in place to monitor CPU usage, file system usage, memory usage, and network performance?
- What are the tools does your organization have?
- How many and what percent of applications/projects are performance tested with tool (LoadRunner) before they are launched into production
