Load Testing for Medical Corporation’s Automated System
One of our biggest clients is a network of medical treatment and prevention facilities that holds the key player position in the domestic medical market. The network consists of diagnostic centers, clinic hospitals, medical test centers, family and children’s clinics, health resorts, and wellness centers. It employs approximately 100 doctors of medical sciences and more than 2000 physicians.
The entire customer infrastructure is based on an internal information system (MIS) to automate the workflow:
The PFLB team was hired to test the latter.
Task
The customer had planned to introduce new architecture and needed to know the number of servers required to sustain the maximal system load. We had the following goals:
Solution
Results
We found several important system limitations and internal element conflicts after the first testing iterations. After the system analysis, we developed recommendations on ways to solve those problems. The customer was required to solve them on their own, so that we could perform the testing again and solve the set task.
The hardware analysis led to the required number of the terminal servers to allow the system to sustain the maximum load level. The results allowed the customer to organize the servers and ensure continuous function of the IT infrastructure. This was our first big project working with the RDP protocol that gave us a chance to broaden our knowledge in this area.
