Methods and computer program products for benchmarking multiple collaborative services provided by enterprise software

A computer program product for generating a simulated collaborative mix workload for assessing performance of enterprise software executed on a hardware platform, tile computer program product comprising a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method comprising:

• generating the simulated collaborative mix workload by executing at least two of a team spaces path, a documents path, a learning path, a messaging path, or a web conference path;
• wherein the team spaces path generates a simulated discussion with team members and generates a search query for locating a forum within the team space;
• wherein the documents path generates a library search to locate a document, opens the document, reads the document, and generates a simulated chat about the document;
• wherein the learning path launches a simulated course and a simulated assessment activity;
• wherein the messaging path reads a simulated email, attaches a document to the simulated email, and sends the simulated email with the attached document;
• wherein the web conference path generates a web conference attended by a plurality of simulated users;
• and
• wherein at least one of the team spaces path, documents path, learning path, or messaging path are performed more than once;
• such that the collaborative mix workload includes a combination of mail, instant messaging, electronic meetings, documents, and electronic learning.
