3 Executive Overview Oracle Insurance Insbridge Enterprise Rating (Insbridge) is a stand-alone, Web-based rating, rules, and underwriting system for all lines of business. It allows business users to build, deploy, and manage complex rates and rules with a supremely accurate rating and underwriting engine in an easy-to-use environment. This document describes a set of performance-related tests conducted on the Insbridge systems the SoftRater Rating Engine and the RateManager Authoring Environment along with associated results. The goal of the test was to prove system scalability up to levels capable of supporting commercial insurance carriers at a high volume. The tests described were conducted in order to validate system scalability requirements and informative sizing metrics for use in production deployments. The tests further provided detailed data enabling Oracle to continue improving the Insbridge product.. 1
4 RateManager Testing The Oracle Insurance Insbridge product includes the RateManager component, which is a Web-based application enabling business users to define the rules, rates and calculations to be used within the SoftRater rating engine. The goal of testing the RateManager application was to validate the stability of the application, and to provide data usable in sizing an environment for production purposes. The NeoLoad testing suite from Neotys was utilized for RateManager testing. Test Environment The environment used for RateManager testing was sized using one commodity server for the application tier, and a virtual machine for the database. Machine 1 (Web/App): 2 x Intel Xeon E5345 at 2.33GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows Server 2003, IIS Machine 2 (DB): 2 VCPU at 2.66GHz, 2GB RAM, Windows Server 2003, SQL Server 2008 ENVIRONMENT MACHINE 1 MACHINE 2 Test Usage Application Database Chip Intel Xeon E5345 Virtual Intel # CPU 2 2 Speed 2.33 GHz 2.66 GHz Ram 4GB 2GB OS Windows 2003 Windows 2003 Software IIS SQL Server
5 Test Scenarios During the test, 250 virtual users were allocated across several test cases as follows: SCENARIO NUMBER OF USERS Create New Calculated Variable 36 Create New Table Variable 35 Navigate Line of Business & Program Listings 35 Navigate Program Element Listings 35 Login & Logout 35 Package/Deployment 37 Testing & Debugging 37 Tests were conducted across 60 minutes as well as 12 hours. Database size and rating logic complexity was consistent with a mid-tier insurance carrier. Test Results All tests were conducted successfully with no errors. Web and application server resource utilization peaked at 45 percent. Database processor utilization reached 90 percent at peak utilization. Statistics are reported on a request-level basis, and rolled up to the page level. Request metrics define the average response time of each request from the browser to the application server. Page metrics bring together all of the response times for all requests conducted by a user on a single page view this includes any AJAX style requests as well as any submission, and the initial loading of the page. Request Metrics: All response averages were below 0.6 second in all tests Page Metrics: All total response averages were below 1 second in all tests SoftRater Engine Testing The SoftRater engine is deployed as a Web service. Rating requests are received, calculations executed and results returned. Testing was conducted using synchronous calls to the rating engine service. Tests were conducted across several environments in order to evaluate system scalability that is, the product s ability to effectively utilize additional resources in order to support a higher volume of concurrent processing. The JMeter testing tool was utilized to deliver requests to the system, validate responses and measure response time. Test Environments Three environment configurations were utilized in testing the rating engine. Configurations are shown from smallest to largest. The first two configurations were achieved by separating the test environment into multiple zones. All configurations utilized the Solaris 10 operating system from Oracle, as well as the SPARC64-VII 2.53GHz processor. All configurations were deployed within Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 servers. 3
6 All configurations utilized Oracle WebLogic 11g with the Sun HotSpot JVM 1.6 update 20. For the database, Oracle Enterprise Database 11g was utilized. Configuration 1: 2 processors, 16GB RAM Configuration 2: 4 processors, 32GB RAM Configuration 3: 8 processors, 64GB RAM Configurations 1 and 2 utilized Solaris Containers for virtualization. Configuration 3 did not use any virtualization technology. It is important to note that Configurations 1 and 2 were tested on the same server using two containers. Configuration 3 used two M4000 servers. Database: All configurations executed against a database deployed on a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 utilizing 4 UltraSPARC-T2+ at 1.6GHz. Database utilization of the system processor was limited to 10 percent, simulating a shared-database environment. Load Balancing: An HTTP server was deployed on the same Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 as the database, with load balancing via round-robin configuration. 4
7 Test Scenarios For the test, 4 million unique service requests were generated. These test cases were as follows: PRODUCT TEST CASES Personal Auto 1,000,000 Commercial Property 1,000,000 Medical Consumer 1,000,000 For additional products details, see appendix A. Database size and rating logic complexity was consistent with a mid-tier insurance carrier. During each test, multiple JMeter instances were deployed with multiple threads organized into thread groups. Each thread group was allocated a particular set of test cases to execute, such that no test case would ever be executed by two threads at the same time and all test cases would be executed in sequence, maximizing the variety of load placed on the system at any given point in time. Once reaching the end of a sequence of messages, the thread group would then begin executing from the beginning and loop until halted manually. Each test was executed for an hour. Ramp-up occurred during the first few minutes of processing. For each system configuration, four tests were executed one test for each of the product categories for a total of twelve independent tests. Test Results For each test, concurrent requests were ramped up to a point where application server resources were fully utilized (approximately 75 to 90 percent). Application server CPU was the limiting factor in all test scenarios, with the system scaling out to additional concurrent requests as processors were enabled. The following table describes the number of concurrent requests processed by the system on a perminute basis. Configuration 1 PRODUCT REQUESTS/MINUTE Personal Auto 3,360 Commercial Property 4,980 Medical Consumer 14,040 Configuration 2 PRODUCT REQUESTS/MINUTE Personal Auto 14,220 Commercial Property 14,580 Medical Consumer 57,084 5
8 Configuration 3 PRODUCT REQUESTS/MINUTE Personal Auto 113,820 Commercial Property 99,186 Medical Consumer 515,340 Aggregate The following graphic depicts the relative number of concurrent requests processed across configurations using Personal Auto as an example case. Personal Auto - Requests/Minute Configuration 1 Configuration 2 Configuration 3 The graphic illustrates the limiting factor in this test case, which was bandwidth. The addition of a separate dedicated server provided additional CPU as well as additional network bandwidth. Memory constraints were not a major factor in the test. Conclusion Oracle executed a set of load tests against both the RateManager Web application and SoftRater engine, components of the Oracle Insurance Insbridge Enterprise Rating product. All goals of the test were met. Oracle showed the RateManager application was able to serve 250 concurrent users performing a variety of operations on low cost, commodity hardware. Oracle also proved out system scalability of the SoftRater engine across a variety of typical product lines. The throughput and scalability of Oracle Insurance Insbridge meets the needs of insurance companies today as well as the scalability necessary to enable future growth. 6
