Toughday2 for AEM and AEMaaCS

[kharman]

Hello Everyone,

We are trying to checkout the ToughDay2 tool for performance testing.

Is this tool still available and relevant? The updates are very old.

We were not able to build the project due to missing libraries.

If not ToughDay 2, do we have anything similar?

Any pointers please?

Regards,

Manish

Hi @kharman , 

You can certainly use ToughDay, but please keep its limitations in mind. The tool was originally designed to compare hardware sizing and platform differences. Its test cases are quite artificial and are tied to the Classic UI, which means they might not accurately reflect the actual use cases we see today.

If you're leaning toward using it, it’s important to understand that while the tool can provide some benchmark comparisons, the relevance of its output for modern customer scenarios may be limited. The design intention was to serve a specific comparison purpose, so for any in-depth performance analysis or evaluations that need to mirror current environments, you might want to consider supplementing ToughDay results with insights from more contemporary performance testing frameworks.

For more detailed information on its intended use and the context in which ToughDay was originally developed, please refer to the documentation: Experience Manager 6.5 ToughDay Documentation

If you have any further questions, let me know!

Hi, 

I personally never used ToughDay for performance testing before, I also have the feeling that this is one of those tools that nobody uses and that's why it never got updated, but I cannot say if it is good or not. However, there are many tools that can do the job; it’s just a matter of preference and whether you have prior knowledge of them. Daniel wrote an article about using K6 (https://meticulous.digital/blog/f/aemaacs-performance-testing-with-k6), for example.

You can find more alternatives here:

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot for your pointers, everyone. I shall check these.
