Challenges
Having a website that was functional around the clock was crucial for a competitive advantage.
- The website needed to handle 4000-5000 daily users generating offers, demanding high stability.
- Minimizing response time was a critical challenge.
Solution
We developed comprehensive load-testing scripts to simulate the client’s live production environment. Our engineers set up an independent performance testing environment to ensure accurate results, addressing the lack of a separate testing environment for more reliable outcomes.
Here are the steps we followed to conduct performance testing on the entire platform.
- Understanding the problem
- Establishing success criteria/metrics
- Recording the script
- Deciding the scale of tests
- Preparing performance test data as per the script
- Parameterizing and running scripts
- Generating reports on performance measurement
- Alerting the stakeholders to take precautionary measures
- Performing trend analysis and documenting the test process, results, etc
