Testing for Performance and Scalability 213
Testing the Security Application Block
The tests for the Security Application Block tested the application block’s authorization
methods. Table 23 lists the scenarios for the Security Application Block. Here is
an explanation of each of the columns.

ID. This column lists the ID number for each scenario.
Scenario. This column lists the Security Application Block scenario being tested.
Users. This column lists the different numbers of users that the tests simulated.
Configuration setting. This column lists the cache that stores the security information
or the authorization provider.
Table 23: Security Application Block Scenarios
ID Scenario Users Configuration setting
1 Save or read the Identity property. 1, 10, 50, 150 Property is cached in
SQL Server.
2 Save or read the Principal property. 1, 10, 50, 150 Property is cached in
SQL Server.
3 Save or read the Profile property. 1, 10, 50, 150 Property is cached in
SQL Server.
4 Authorize the user. 1, 10, 50, 150 Use AzMan to authorize
the user.
5 Authorize the user. 1, 10, 50, 150 Use the Authorization
Rule Provider to authorize
the user.
Creating a Test Harness
For an example of how to create a test harness, see Building Test Harnesses. Iterations
of the test should create the security provider objects. For an example of how to
create a domain object for each iteration of the test, see Using the Test Script. Create a
Web page to run the test harness.
Creating the Test Code
Because of time constraints, the Security Application Block was not measured against
a baseline. Table 24 lists the Security Application Block test code.
