Successfully handled all the exceptions and errors generated as part of the process.
Developed a batch code to automate communication between the hub and the nodes. Also, compared 50 users run with 2 users run in terms of processing time for different functions.
Generated a consolidated Extent Report of all 50 concurrent users.
Benefits
The client got to know the behavior of the application under load and the fixes needed for the application to withstand the load.
The GUI-based Load testing provided insight into the problems with the front end during real-time user interaction.
Procured visual logs and error screenshots for enhanced understanding of the scope of errors and deep dive analysis.
