1. Introduction
This report outlines the performance testing conducted on the E-Commerce Platform to evaluate its response time, throughput, resource utilization, and overall scalability. The primary objective of the test was to ensure the application performs optimally under expected and peak load conditions.
2. Objectives
To measure response times of critical transactions under various load conditions.
To assess the system's ability to handle the expected user load.
To identify any performance bottlenecks or limitations.
To verify that the application meets the defined performance requirements.
3. Test Environment
Component | Details |
|---|
Application | E-Commerce Platform |
Test Environment | QA Environment |
Servers | 4 Application Servers, 2 DB Servers |
Network | LAN (1 Gbps) |
Database | MySQL |
Tools Used | JMeter, Grafana, New Relic |
4. Test Scenarios
Scenario | Description | Load |
|---|
Scenario 1: Baseline Test | Measure response time under minimal load (10 concurrent users). | 10 users |
Scenario 2: Load Test | Evaluate performance with expected user load (500 concurrent users). | 500 users |
Scenario 3: Stress Test | Test the application at maximum load to determine breaking points (1000+ concurrent users). | 1000+ users |
Scenario 4: Spike Test | Assess application performance during a sudden increase in load (from 100 to 1000 users in seconds). | 100 to 1000 users |
5. Test Results
5.1 Scenario 1: Baseline Test
Average Response Time: 150 ms
Throughput: 30 requests/second
Error Rate: 0%
Observations: The system performed optimally with minimal load.
5.2 Scenario 2: Load Test
Average Response Time: 500 ms
Throughput: 300 requests/second
Error Rate: 1.5%
Observations: The system handled the expected user load within acceptable response time limits.
5.3 Scenario 3: Stress Test
Average Response Time: 1200 ms
Throughput: 800 requests/second
Error Rate: 5%
Observations: The application began to show signs of performance degradation, with higher response times and error rates above 800 users.
5.4 Scenario 4: Spike Test
Average Response Time: 1000 ms during a spike
Throughput: 700 requests/second
Error Rate: 4%
Observations: The system was able to recover after the sudden load spike but with reduced throughput and increased response time.
6. Performance Bottlenecks Identified
Database Latency: High response times were observed in complex database queries under stress conditions.
CPU Utilization: Application servers reached 95% CPU utilization during stress tests, indicating a need for scaling or optimization.
7. Recommendations
Optimize database queries to reduce latency during high load.
Consider horizontal scaling of application servers to improve CPU utilization during peak traffic.
Implement caching strategies to improve throughput.
Re-test after optimization to ensure performance improvements.
8. Conclusion
The performance tests on the E-Commerce Platform revealed that the system performs well under the expected user load. However, performance issues were identified during stress and spike tests, particularly in database latency and CPU utilization. With optimization, the system can handle peak traffic more efficiently.
