In this part, let’s tackle a problem that engineers in every load testing company complain about, — namely, how Grafana slows down the system, — and several other quick fixes to your Grafana dashboards.

In this article, we start with a major topic, and then, in the following parts, we’ll go deeper into super-hardcore stuff.
Test reports automation is the way to optimize testing costs and make performance testing more affordable. By cutting the cost, you will also be able to attract smaller businesses as customers. Good news: test reports automation is possible with the help of such popular tools as Grafana and InfluxDB, that all testers are already familiar with, to say the least.

The client is the biggest bank in Europe, with 98 million individual clients, 2.7 million corporate clients, and 278,000 employees. Although they had been using Blue Prism RPA for a while, they decided to perform the first ever load/performance testing of their software, so it was all new to them. PFLB played the guiding part, making the client aware of all the details of load testing and running the service. After the project, the client’s business indicators increased notably, so they returned to us with another service request.

Our client, a large state-owned bank, pays special attention to the stability of the FIS Profile system which serves more than 65 million customers, 55 million contracts, 9 million loan agreements, and 45 million cards. PFLB conducts banking application testing for each of the system releases. On average, a release contains about ten changes to the functionality of the system, each of which requires detailed elaboration and specific testing.

Our client is one of the largest commercial banks, with European offices and state participation. The bank had a goal to minimize performance and resiliency risks in IT infrastructure and salary program systems, such as possible disruptions in payroll card services, payroll accounting delays, and system failures during registry processing.
PFLB provided performance testing of payroll systems. The testing challenge was to understand the structure of component interaction given a variety of registry types and a large status model.

In the traditional software approach, software teams performed QA  testing at the later stages of the development process. In development models such as Waterfall, the product was developed and passed along to the Quality Assurance team, who tested the software and offered feedback. By highlighting internal issues of the software, they helped the development team […]

Testing is critical to the quality of software and ensures that errors don’t seep into the final product. However, the amount of software testing needed in projects is simply too much for testing teams unless they partially use test automation. Quality Assurance teams use Test Automation to run detailed, repetitive, and data-intensive without any manual […]

Our client is a big commercial bank and a leader in the consumer credit market. Our customer decided to implement its own transaction processing. The findings presented by PFLB at the end of the project helped the bank decide to postpone deployment outfits in-house processing system by 3 months, during which time the bottleneck was fixed by a developer.

In a world where the global economy is connected, banking plays a foundational role in connecting companies financially regardless of their location. However, due to the critical nature of finances and the risk of fraud, security, and privacy, banking applications enabling these transactions are extremely complex, perhaps more complicated than most enterprise software. Even a […]

Traditionally, software development and operations have always been as isolated modules among software teams. Software developers used to write codes, whereas system administrators were responsible for integrating and deploying it. However, due to limited communication, these two teams worked in silos and were often seen working separately despite being a part of the same project. […]
