Performance

• We didnt do a full performance test with a large
  number of users or simulating users !
• Identify the business critical transactions
• Test those by key users and verify the usage of
  system resources and expensive SQL statements
• Check your job-network
• In case of performance problemsonly the
  performance approved transactions are allowed
