近些年来，国产数据库得到了快速的发展，但是针对其性能的测试方法和测试指标却参差不齐。针对上述问题，中国软件评测中心在大量数据库测试的基础之上，参考国际性能评价指标，建立了一套相对完善的数据库性能评价指标，其中主要分为时间特性、资源利用特性和性能标准依从性三大指标，同时分析各指标的特点，应用Loadrunner、TPCC等国际通用的测试工具和方法设计了个指标项的测试内容，形成了关于数据库性能特性的评价体系及其评价方法的说明文档，该套体系从性能质量上保证了国产数据库的质量。 　　Abstract: 　　In recent years, the development of database has been rapid in China. But the testing method and performance evaluating for database are mixed. Aiming at this problems， the paper introduces the guide line and method of performance evaluation of DBMS that is based on a lot of performance testing for DBMS. The testing method and the testing flow were introduced. In response to these problems, CSTC (China Software Testing Center) consummated a performance evaluation index by large database performance testing in CSTC and international performance evaluation. That includes time characteristics, resource utilization, and performance standards conformance. By analyzing the all characteristics of each index, the testing methods of performance index are designed. The methods use Loadrunner, TPCC and other internationally accepted method. Documentations that are performance evaluation index and methods are published. And that can ensure the performance quality of database.
