Load & Scale Testing

Prove your system can handle production capacity

⚠ CRITICAL: Never load tested

You don't know your system's breaking point. This is dangerous for production.

Load Test Execution

Test Profile: Ramp-up test

Duration: 30 minutes

Scenario: Concurrent user increase from 1 to 1000

Focus: Response times, error rates, bottleneck identification

Capacity & Scalability Targets

Expected concurrent users

Current: Unknown • Target: 500+

Peak requests/second

Current: Unknown • Target: 1000+ RPS

Loan approvals/day

Current: ~50-100 • Target: 1000+

Response time SLA (p95)

Current: Not defined • Target: < 500ms

Error rate SLA

Current: Not defined • Target: < 0.1%

Memory leak test (48h)

Current: Not tested • Target: Stable

Remediation Path
  1. Identify bottleneck (DB connection pool → increase to 100+)
  2. Implement query optimization (index missing database fields)
  3. Add caching layer (Redis for frequently accessed data)
  4. Scale horizontally (load balancer + multiple app instances)
  5. Re-test to validate improvements
  6. Document scaling runbook

Timeline: 2-3 weeks to reach 500+ concurrent users capacity.
