1. Troubleshooting Web Site Performance Issues with Visual Studio Team System Martin Kulov Director.NET Development National Academy for Software Development MVP – VSTS, MCT, MCSD, MCPD

2. What We Will Cover How testing processes can help us deliver quality code Measuring performance of ASP.NET sites Improving ASP.NET performance

3. Session Prerequisites.NET Framework intermediate level ASP.NET intermediate level Windows Counters basic level Level 200

4. Agenda WWW (Why, When, What) to test Web Applications Tests Performance Testing ASP.NET applications Profiling ASP.NET Applications Measuring ASP.NET Applications Tuning ASP.NET Applications

5. Why we should test Quality increase Finding and fixing design problems Lowering TCO and maintenance costs

6. When we should test As often as possible As early as possible Test automation would help a lot

7. What we should test Critical business features Everything else Everything else The clearer performance goals are, the better we will know what to test PMs should get these goals defined from the start

8. Testing Web Applications Testing types Functional Testing Performance Testing Security Testing Reliability Testing Usability Testing others …

9. Performance Testing Most critical and often neglected type of test It should be done during each phase of the project There are three main principles MeasureMeasureMeasure Set your desired goals Tune the application

10. Setting your goals Response time Latency on the server Latency on the client (TTFB and TTLB) Throughput Resource utilization Identify problem areas Define workload profiles

11. Profiling ASP.NET Applications Profiling is the process of collecting data We can measure the result Profiling is done though code instrumentation In instrumentation we inject additional code to the system so it can generate events

21. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Tuning Process Performance tuning is an iterative process On every step we should identify and eliminate bottlenecks Retest and measure again to see if we are closer to our performance goals

22. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Tuning Categories Application Configuration settings web.configPlatform.NET Framework Web Server OSDatabaseSystem CPU, Memory, I/O, etc…

23. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Tune the thread pool <processModel enable="true" timeout="Infinite“ idleTimeout="Infinite“ shutdownTimeout="0:00:05" requestLimit="Infinite" requestQueueLimit="5000" restartQueueLimit="10“ memoryLimit="60“ webGarden="false" cpuMask="0xffffffff" userName="machine“ password="AutoGenerate" logLevel="Errors“ clientConnectedCheck="0:00:05“ comAuthenticationLevel="Connect“comImpersonationLevel="Impersonate“responseDeadlockInterval="00:03:00" maxWorkerThreads="20“ maxIoThreads="20"/>

24. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Tune the thread pool <httpRuntime executionTimeout="90" maxRequestLength="4096“ useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"minFreeThreads="8"minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"appRequestQueueLimit="100"enableVersionHeader="true"/>

25. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Recommended settings Recommended Threading Settings for Reducing Contention Configuration settingDefault (.NET 1.1)Recommended value maxconnection212 * #CPUs maxIoThreads20100 maxWorkerThreads20100 minFreeThreads888 * #CPUs minLocalRequestFree- Threads476 * #CPUs

26. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Other settings Set memory limit IIS 6.0 manager Set timeouts Evaluate use of RequestQueueLimit

27. Tuning ASP.NET Applications Other settings Disable tracing and debugging Disable session state Disable View State <configuration><system.web> </system.web></configuration>

28. Demonstration 1 Profiling and load testing ASP.NET applications with Visual Studio Team System 2005 for Software Testers

29. Session Summary The inevitable software testing process Measuring performance of ASP.NET applications Tuning performance of ASP.NET applications Visual Studio Team System 2005 for Software Testing provide integrated profiling, load testing and reporting environment

30. Next Steps Create load profiles for your application Prepare and analyze reports from load testing Identify and resolve bottlenecks Tune Windows OS performance Tune ADO.NET performance Tune SQL Server performance
