BENCHMARKING To determine whether a package can handle a certain transaction
volume efficiently, you can perform a benchmark test. A benchmark measures the time
a package takes to process a certain number of transactions. For example, a benchmark
test can measure the time needed to post 1,000 sales transactions.
If you use benchmarks, remember that a benchmark test is conducted in a controlled
environment, which might not resemble the actual day-to-day situation at your company. Although benchmarking cannot predict your specific results, benchmark testing is
a good way to measure relative performance of two or more competing products in a
standard environment.
Many IT publications publish regular reviews of individual packages, including
benchmark tests, and often have annual surveys covering various categories of software.
Some of the publications shown in Figure 7-22 also offer online versions and additional
Web-based features, search capability, and IT links.
