What we did?

Load and Stress Testing
VoD Expiration Workflow Performance
User-Segment Performance Validation
System Scalability and Resilience

Load and Stress Testing

Using JMeter and LoadRunner, we designed and executed load testing scenarios to simulate real-world peak usage conditions. These tests identified system thresholds, highlighted response degradation, and optimized server configurations for handling concurrent users efficiently. Additionally, the results provided insights into how the system performs under prolonged high-stress conditions.

VoD Expiration Workflow Performance

By leveraging JMeter and Gatling, we developed performance testing scripts to measure Transactional VoD expiration accuracy under high load. These scripts covered edge cases such as simultaneous logins, rapid playback actions, and concurrent content expirations, ensuring reduced latency and smooth user experience. Further analysis ensured consistency in expiration workflows during concurrent high-load operations.

User-Segment Performance Validation

For Enterprise, Guild, and User segments, we conducted performance benchmarks using Selenium and JMeter. These benchmarks tested workflows like permissions, content access, and user interactions while analyzing the impact of simultaneous access and role-specific customizations. This allowed us to ensure balanced resource allocation and smooth interactions for diverse user groups.

System Scalability and Resilience

Using monitoring tools like Zephyr and Allure Report, we validated system scalability and resilience. Scalability tests ensured dynamic resource allocation for varying user demands, while simulated failure scenarios evaluated recovery times and system stability during updates or traffic surges. This ensured the system's ability to handle rapid changes without degrading user experience.
