| Chris,
There aren't any performance whitepapers that I'm aware of at the moment.
The one thing to consider is that Commerce Server 2007 is like a number of
other web applications that leverage a database. You'll be able to scale up
and out with 64-bit on both the web and database tier along with a larger
number of servers. Along those lines you are probably going to look at the
same type of metrics you would with any web application (requests per
second, memory utilization, database connections, etc...).
Methodology wise you would likely benefit from use of the Visual Studio Team
Edition for Software Testers to build unit tests for business, data access
layers, and web tests for user interface layers. There are two introductory
whitepapers worth reviewing:
Introducing Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Web Testing
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...TmSysWebTst.asp
Web Test Authoring and Debugging Techniques
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...WTAuthDebug.asp
I suspect that now that the Starter Site has been released that we might see
something more concrete in terms of numbers coming out. Even with those
numbers it is worth noting that Commerce Server is more of a development kit
than an out-of-the-box fixed solution. The benefit being, of course, that
you can adapt it for any scenario you face. As such you'll want to plan to
do performance testing as part of your development process.
Cheers,
Colin
