Abstract:The establishment of domestic database selection & evaluation index system and test contents is of great significance. The first is to provide a basis for database performance comparison for the business IT systems of the government, financial banking, and central enterprises. The second is to compare different databases to guide and promote the further performance improvement of domestic database industry. Based on the software quality characteristics and security test standards, this study proposes a database selection & evaluation index system model which analyzes database evaluation factors from the perspectives of performance efficiency, information security, and other evaluation factors. It gives general test contents for each index which can be applied in specific evaluation practice. The index system model and test contents are reasonable and operable in selection and evaluation of 5 types of commonly used domestic databases.
