An effective approach to secure your digital products
Identify bottlenecks
Identify the specific parts of the system that are causing performance issues when under heavy load
Test scalability
Understand how the system will perform as it scales to handle more users, transactions, or data
Evaluate robustness
Evaluate how well a system can withstand unexpected events, such as sudden spikes in traffic, hardware failures, or other types of disruptions
Improve reliability
By identifying and fixing issues that are revealed by a performance test, you can improve the overall reliability and stability of the system
Confidence in service levels
Be more confident in the service level you are providing to your customers
How we test
Planning
Identifying the system or component that will be tested, the type of stress test that will be conducted, and the expected load or conditions that will be used during the test
Preparation
Setting up the test environment and configuring the tools and equipment that will be used during the test
Test Execution
Simulating the expected load or conditions on the system and monitoring the system's behaviour during the test
Data Analysis
Looking at performance metrics, identifying bottlenecks, and analyzing log files and other data to understand how the system handled the load or conditions that were used during the test
Reporting and Recommendation
Generating a report that summarizes the results of the performance test and provides recommendations for improving the system's performance or addressing any issues that were identified
Remediation
Fixing the issues to ensure the system can handle the stress
What we test
Load testing
This test determines how well a system performs under normal and expected load conditions
Stress testing
This test determines how well a system performs under extreme or beyond normal load conditions. The goal is to determine the system's breaking point
Volume testing
This type of test is used to evaluate how the system behaves when handling a large amount of data
Endurance testing
This type of test is used to evaluate how the system behaves over an extended period of time, such as several hours or days
Spike testing
This test is used to determine how well a system can handle sudden and unexpected increases in load, such as a sudden surge in website traffic
