Technical Testing – Performance & Automation

Performance, Stress & Volume Testing

Non-functional solution assurance is a highly specialised capability critical to the success of any initiative. Our approach to performance, stress and volume testing typically involves:

  • development of performance test scripts that emulate E2E user behaviour.

  • stress tests designed and executed to determine maximum thresholds before system degradation occurs.

  • soak/endurance tests used to emulate users for extended operational periods.

  • conducting a risk-based approach to target performance hot-spots identified by architecture or business subject matter experts. 

  • the setup of monitoring tools (server and diagnostic) to assist in root-cause analysis.

  • analysis undertaken to understand and execute trace routes, whilst following TCP/IP traffic in Wireshark to understand network topologies.
