Execution of performance tests should not be done just a few days or a week before going
into production, as it takes a lot of time to resolve issues. Planning of tests should be
done soon after defining the performance benchmarks.

IS APPROACHING
BLACK FRIDAY
ARE YOU PREPARED?
Plan the tests
in advance
Increasing the infrastructure could be a temporary solution to prepare for times when the
expected user load becomes much larger than it usually is throughout the year. Moving to
the cloud can make this task easier to perform, especially for small-scale businesses.

It is logical to test the performance of the application on the infrastructure of your choice.
Performing proper load tests can make it easier to find the breaking point of the system
and thereby understand the estimated load that the website can handle. A robust load
testing strategy can help in ensuring that the application / website that can handle the
anticipated load. To estimate the expected traffic, trends from the previous year and the
changes in traffic over the last few months should be taken into consideration.
Perform proper
load tests
There are numerous tools available for load testing, such as JMeter, The Grinder, Locust,
Gatling, and Selenium. A tool that fulfills all testing requirements should be considered.
Select the perfect
load testing tools
After analyzing the estimated load, final tests can be run in order to know when the
system breaks and at what level it stops responding. Running the tests can eventually
help in foreseeing the real-time traffic spikes that need to cope with.
Run
the tests
Identify errors and bottlenecks and describe the solutions that are required to fix them.
Dedicated technical resources should be allocated to this task. Identifying KPIs such as
response time, latency, throughput, and connect time would be the best strategy to make
the website error-free.
Scan
the results
After fixing all the bugs and after making necessary changes, servers should be ready.
Adjustments in tests should be accordingly and run again to see whether the changes
were able to enhance the system’s capabilities.
