Performance Test Plan (PTP) for Task 81-3, Air Force Automated Message Processing Exchange (AFAMPE) Requirements and System Analysis.

Computer Sciences Corporation CSC had been tasked to design a Performance Test Plan PTP for the Air Force Automated Message Processing Exchange AFAMPE system. The objective of this document is to present a performance test methodology to measure system throughput characteristics of the AFAMPE. The development of the test methodology presented in this report is a follow-on phase to the information and conclusions presented in the final report to the AFAMPE Performance Analysis and Test Criteria, dated 26 February 1982. This document encompasses the test approach methodology, test scenarios, and test management plan and consists of three sections as follows Section 2 contains a conceptual description of the test methodology, test data requirements, test hardware requirements, test results, and performance evaluation criteria. Section 3 is made up of instructions for pre-test preparations and instructions for conducting the scenarios that make up the test methodology. Section 4, the management plan, defines responsibilities, and describes the test schedule, controls, and reporting requirements.
