I want evaluate workflow management systems by performance. It could be part of my diploma. I imagine something like I prepare cases, I want lunch them in environment where I can measure time, while enviroment is same and i can do automatically. I probably need some virtualisation software. Could you advice me software. I prefer free and Linux OS. Thanks
Hi,
you can use the configuration that you wish, you just have to use the same one for each BPMS tested.
If you are fluent with Linux, it is a good idea to use it.

I want test at least 3 Workflow Management Systems. My inspiration is Workflow Engine Performance Evaluation by a Black-Box Approach.

Hi,
be careful because each workflow engine will have its dedicated approach regarding performance tuning. Bonita BPM Engine will need some specific tuning regarding the kind of process you want to test (kind of connectivity, human steps vs service steps, sgbd used for the test, …). Personally I advice you to use postgresql as dbms and the tomcat bundle. Note that by default the bundle is configured for basic test, not performance tuning. So you will have to go deeper inside the engine configuration in order to be sure that your measures will be the best
