Hi all, If we have to run a performance test on a application , but client hs not provided us the Response time SLA , then how can we compare the result to find out the degraded transactions.
 
It is a common problem. Often we do not get either a realistic response time SLA or it does not exist. However, we can test the load runner scenario using controlled pacing to baseline application. Please note you should not be using pacing setting "after previous ends with a delay of...". you must use pacing interval and this should have a value that is much higher than lr txn response time + think times. If you were to compare then, you then need to simply run the same scenario again. if there are new functionalities added, then that's a new scenario that u need to run to understand impact of the newly added functionalities. Note that the underlying hardware and software configuration that drives performance should be same. In other words, it cannot be different from your baseline run.
 
I think its better we need to put mail, to confirm with client
