We faced the task of checking the stability of the Wi-Fi-based media broadcast service. And this was a real challenge, because we had not previously load tested hardware, only software.

By simulating the behavior of 50 independent passengers whose mobile devices can connect to the tested service after the plane’s ascent. Their devices should provide them with a choice of various audio and video content: movies, TV series, music, audio books, and cartoons.

As any enterprise expands, to ensure the platform’s reliability our customer hired PFLB to conduct load testing.

PFLB’s work helped the client make an informed decision about deploying the system into a production environment. Performance optimization based on an analysis of the test results reduced the time required to complete the main logistics business scenario by more than 2 times and increased the speed of individual transactions by up to 8 times.

Our company was approached during the Bank’s transformation, in which they expected increasing demand for its products, leading to more user operations and higher system load. The system being tested is a credit approval system based on Siebel CRM. The system provides functionality for working with card and credit products, making it possible to conduct the full range of credit-servicing operations.

Our customer, a regular PFLB client and one of the largest retail chains, uses the SAP BW platform to perform this analysis. A few years ago, they decided to make it more efficient by selecting the fastest database management system (DBMS).

Our client is a popular pizza delivery service. They have planned, developed and continued on improving their software solution that accepts orders online via site or mobile app; integrates counters and transactions; queues orders for the pizza bakers; coordinates the couriers; manages deliveries; analyzes sales; performs dozens of operations that an average person won’t keep in mind simultaneously, but the system can.

In the fall, a company assigned us a task of conducting load testing. It turned out that the customer was implementing an educational project based on the platform as a service (PaaS) principle and was creating a platform that would ensure effective interactions between teachers and students in the educational process.

The customer was faced with an ambitious task of launching a pilot project in general education schools in six regions of the country during six months and then replicating the project to general education schools.

Software testing professionals often interchange the terms ‘load testing’ and ‘performance testing’. However, in reality, there is a significant difference between these two processes as each of them evaluates the performance levels of different aspects of a system. Understanding the main goals and objectives of load and performance testing is essential for any software testing […]

Load testing and stress testing are both means of performance testing, so it’s not easy to draw a line of distinction between the two. However, while load testing assesses the software performance under some expected load (regular or peak), stress testing pushes the bar beyond peak conditions to determine the system’s load capacity as well […]

Synthetic testing is a way to check the IT system’s performance in terms of infrastructure and application performance metrics such as disk reading or writing speed, the speed of memory page communication, and network utilization.

Reliability and stability testing allows you to model system behavior during regular and irregular situations, such as shutdowns, restarts of various system components, or lengthy loads on the system. This testing approach aligns with the principles of site reliability engineering, which focuses on ensuring scalable, reliable systems by addressing issues proactively through automation and strategic […]
