# Get started

OpenText™ Enterprise Performance Engineering is a cross-enterprise tool for planning and running multiple performance test projects that enables you to remotely monitor concurrent tests across different geographic locations.

In this topic:

## Benefits and how it works

| Benefits include: Ability to run multiple tests simultaneously, and share test assets across the project Web-based, 24/7, globally accessible platform with centralized resource management DevOps-ready due to its REST APIs, CI plug-ins, and APM tool integrations Dynamic provisioning using elastic Dockerized and cloud-based load generators Smart analytics, including anomaly detection during a test run Integrates with other OpenText products
| Discover how you can test the performance of your applications: Create and run scripts that use virtual users, or Vusers, to emulate typical user activity. Vusers generate load on your web servers or applications. While Vusers run, server response time data is collected. The data is analyzed and provides a clear picture of performance.

## End-to-end workflow

Following are the basic steps for creating and developing a performance test.

Step | Action
--- | ---
| 1. Create test assets Create test assets such as a script or a monitor to use in your performance test. For details, see Assets.
| 2. Design a test Create a test by selecting the test assets to use and defining a workload for the test. For details, see Tests.
| 3. Reserve a timeslot Create a timeslot for the test and make sure the timeslot is available. For details, see Reserve timeslots.
| 4. Run the test Run the test to create load on your application and to test its performance. During the test run, you can view and manage test runs and results, Vusers, monitors, and load generators. For details, see Run performance tests.
| 5. View and analyze test results View test data in real time or offline, and use built-in tools to analyze test results such as trend reports and anomaly detection. For details, see View and analyze test results.
