Rational TestManager and Performance Testing
focus on identifying and eliminating architecture-related performance bottlenecks.
Later in the lifecycle--in the construction iterations--performance tests tune the
software and environment (optimizing response time and resources), and verify that
the applications and system acceptably handle high workload and stress conditions,
such as a large number of transactions, clients, or volumes of data. Different types of
performance tests are suited to each iteration.
problems before you deploy your application in the real world. With TestManager,
you have all of the tools you need to identify, isolate, and analyze performance
bottlenecks.

TestManager removes the need for users to manually add workload to the server.
