"We are rebuilding the portal, go-live in ten weeks."
Half a day with the business and the operations team: critical journeys, expected volumes, contractual thresholds, test environment.
Deliverable: the test plan, costedScripts, data, load injectors, instrumentation
The journeys are scripted on your tooling or on ours - JMeter, OctoPerf, NeoLoad. The test environment is instrumented with APM so we can see inside while the run is going on.
Deliverable: the test platform, replayableRamp-up, endurance and robustness runs
Response times are read side by side with application metrics. The transaction that bends, the query that bends it, the pool that saturates: all on the same screen.
Deliverable: the test report and its causesFix, then re-run
The recommendation is carried through to the pull request. Once fixed, we run it again: it is the re-run that provides the proof, not the report.
Verdict: passed, passed with reservations, or failed
