Use the Test Program Performance Analyzer to complete the following common tasks.

Use Case Task
Identify Slow Test Times
  1. Load a data set log file.
  2. Select Test Time in the Sorting Method section of the analyzer.
  3. The analyzer sorts the steps by the highest average test time of the maximum number of sites configuration.
  4. Select Code Module Time in the Timing Method section of the analyzer to view times for changes you make to code modules in the test program.
  5. Click a bar in the graph to display a graph of the single step times for that step name and the number of sites, which can be helpful to determine if unexpected poor performance is related to particular cycles or sites.
Identify Low Parallel Test Efficiency (PTE) Values
  1. Load a data set log file.
  2. Select PTE in the Sorting Method section of the analyzer.
  3. The analyzer sorts the steps by the worst calculated PTE values.
  4. The bars on the graph display the test time, and the diamonds on the graph display the calculated PTE of the test time relative to the site configuration test time.
Display Socket Time and Calculated PTE Values
  1. Load a data set log file.
  2. Select Socket Times/PTE in the Graph Type control of the analyzer.
  3. The analyzer displays the overall socket time and the calculated PTE value for each site configuration.
  4. Use the Target Test Time section of the analyzer to enter the target PTE% you want to reach and to specify the single site test time to use to calculate the target test time.
  5. The graph displays the target times that each site configuration would need to meet to achieve the PTE% you set.
