Abstract
It has become extremely important for companies to adapt and survive to withstand competition in this highly competitive era. Since globalization of markets and competition are ever intensifying, there had been increased efforts of organizations to adapt change. This project was implemented to performance test the migration of legacy Customer Information System (CIS) to SAP systems. The purpose of performance testing was to ensure that the new solution can meet CIS baseline processing and performance requirements. The performance test focused on high customer volume areas that place the greatest load upon the new solution and organization. Performance testing was where the peak estimated transaction volumes were simulated, tables were populated beyond expected capacity in a ‘near-to’ production environment. Overloading was not always necessary but the stated limits of the solution hardware and software infrastructure must be tested to ensure reliability and to detect faulty equipment.
