Appl. 31, No. 9, 2449-2452 (2011).} \itemab Summary: The data model, business model, execution schema and performance metric of TPC-DS benchmark for next generation Decision Support System (DSS) application performance evaluation were introduced. The implementation architecture and key technologies for a configurable TPC-DS performance testing tool were put forward, including configuration file, query execution control and data maintenance mechanism. By testing practices in different Database Management Systems (DBMSs), the configurability and usability of the proposed tool for implementation strategies were verified. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{Database Management System (DBMS); Decision Support System (DSS); database test; TPC-DS benchmark; testing tool} \itemli{doi:10.3724/SP.J.1087.2011.02449} \end
