Client Background
A private, independent investment and strategic advisory firm based in the UK. They strive to deliver exceptional investment performance, strategic advice, and top-notch services to their clients.
Client Need
Client was in the process of building two new applications on PEGA and needed:
- To evaluate the performance of both applications with a simulated user load of under 100 initially and the potential for more users in the future, prior to the applications going live.
- To ensure application stability by conducting regression testing after each deployment.
Our Solution
- Automated all high-priority scenarios using JMeter, enabling efficient testing of critical functionality.
- Conducted regular load tests as developers deployed new builds to the staging environment on a weekly basis, evaluating the application’s performance under simulated user loads.
- Performed regression testing for each deployment to assess the application’s functionality and identify any issues that may have arisen.
- Once the application stabilized, automated all existing high-priority scenarios and conducted a final load test to validate the application’s performance.
Tools & Technologies
Pega Platform 8.x, Snowflake, Apache JMeter, Spring Framework
Key Benefits
- 50% improvement in the performance of both applications, achieved through data grid pagination enhancements.
- Regular load tests helped optimize deployment time and expedite the deployment process.
- Regression testing with each deployment ensured early detection and resolution of issues, minimizing potential disruptions and improving overall stability.
