Summary

The capacity planning exercise combines your test plan objectives with your test data to determine the appropriate combination and number of servers. By focusing on the scalability data and CPU utilization, you build initial capacity plans. Later, after deploying the web site, compare the actual site performance to the plans. You may find inaccuracies in your initial projections or discover that the test cases did not match your actual production site usage patterns. If either of these is true, adjust your capacity plans accordingly .
