Performance Testing
The client needed to assess the scalability and performance of the application under concurrent user load and ensure report generation within 5–10 seconds, even with large datasets.
Client Overview
Challenges
The client’s platform was handling rapidly growing volumes of test data, including detailed test cases, execution results, defect logs, and historical project records. As customers used the system across multiple teams and projects, the size and complexity of reports increased significantly, which began to impact overall system performance. Generating summary and analytical reports over large datasets caused noticeable slowdowns, especially during peak usage hours, directly affecting day-to-day operations such as test execution reviews and management reporting.
In addition, the system was composed of multiple tightly integrated modules that evolved in parallel with the backend services. This continuous evolution introduced performance inconsistencies, particularly as record counts increased over time. The combination of increasing concurrency, heavier data loads, and ongoing architectural changes made it difficult to maintain consistent response times, exposing scalability limitations that needed to be addressed in a structured and measurable way.
Our Solution
Certify Technologies designed a comprehensive performance testing strategy tailored to the application’s architecture, usage patterns, and business-critical workflows. Realistic load testing scenarios were created to simulate actual user behavior across key modules such as test management, defect tracking, and reporting. Performance test scripts were carefully developed, parameterized, and validated to ensure accuracy, and the system was tested for scalability up to 100 concurrent users while handling large volumes of data.
Multiple test cycles were executed with continuous monitoring and analysis of server resources, database performance, and application response times. Based on the findings, the environment and configurations were fine-tuned in collaboration with the client’s technical team. This iterative approach ensured that each test cycle delivered measurable improvements and helped identify precise bottlenecks in the application stack, database queries, and reporting processes.
