Optimizing Performance for RC Pets - A Scalability Testing Success Story

To meet the client’s requirements, TESTRIQ undertook several crucial activities:

• Test Plan Creation: A comprehensive test plan was developed, outlining the approach, execution strategy, roles and responsibilities, schedule, test cases, risk assessment, mitigation plan, and other details.

• Test Script Development: Test scripts were created for various scenarios, including user signup, sign-in, product search, product detail view, add to cart, and checkout processes.

• Load Testing Preparation: Different test sets were established to conduct both demonstration and load testing. Tools for monitoring application, database, and server performance were set up on the hosting server to identify any bottlenecks.

• Local Test Run: Initial testing was performed on high-configuration local machines with 100 users to validate scripts, reporting, and readiness for actual load testing.

• Load Generation: To simulate a minimum of 10,000 concurrent users, Redline13, a third-party load testing platform integrated with multiple global servers at various locations, was utilized. This approach eliminated the need to set up extensive hardware and bandwidth resources on-site.

• AWS Integration: Redline13 was configured with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to execute the load tests on cloud servers.

• Global Load Testing: The load tests were executed on multiple cloud servers across different global locations, leveraging AWS integration with the test agent.

• Reporting and Analysis: Status reports of test runs were created and shared with the project team. A dashboard report was extracted to analyze performance and pinpoint bottlenecks.
