You can launch performance diagnostic tests from the Performances navigation pane.
You can test the performances either:
• on a specific repository
or
• on a specific profile
*See Launching a performance diagnostic test on a profile.
In that case you must first define a Test Case on the specific profile.
*(see Defining a Test Case on a profile).

Defining a Test Case on a profile 
You can define a Test Case using a macro and/or a Test Case Configuration.
The macro describes the Test Case to be performed.
The TestCase Configuration is defined for a MetaClass, and if needed with related MetaAssociations and/or MetaAssociationEnds.
To define a Test Case on a profile:
1. Connect to HOPEX Administration (Web Front-End or Windows Front-End).
2. Access the profile properties and select Test Case.
3. In the Test Case section, click New.
*If New is not available, check in the Repository options that you are authorized to modify HOPEX data.
4. Enter a Name for your test case and click OK.
5. In the Number of Loops cell, enter the number of times requested for the test.
6. In the TestCase Configuration section:
• connect a macro (go to step 7)
and/or
• create a Test Case Configuration (go to step 8).
7. (If needed) In Macro, click Connect and connect the macro describing the test.
8. (If needed) In TestCase Configuration click New .
• Enter your TestCase Configuration Name and click OK.
• Click Properties to define the TestCase Configuration.

Example: 3
• In the MetaClass field, connect the MetaClass concerned by the test case.
Example: Application.
• (If needed) In the MetaAssociationEnd table connect the MetaAssociationEnds concerned by the test.
Example: Activation and Functional Activity.
• (If needed) In the MetaAttribute table connect the MetaAttributes concerned by the test.
Example: _DiagramAvailability.
9. Click Apply.
