Stress Testing Plan

This Stress test will be executed with 750-100 users to observe how the system reacts
to failure. This will be a single test and will be re-run in case any of the system
parameters need to be rectified/fine-tuned.

Elapsed Time (secs)

 Objectives:

 Evaluate the performance, stability, and scalability of the travel website under
high traffic loads.
 Ensure the website can handle peak usage periods without downtime or
performance degradation.

 System Understanding:

 The travel website consists of frontend web servers, backend application


servers, a database for storing user data and booking information, and third-
party APIs for payment processing and external services.
 Stress Scenarios:

 Simulate a surge in user traffic during the holiday season, increasing the number
of concurrent users accessing the website by 500%.
 Generate high volumes of search queries and booking transactions
simultaneously, mimicking peak usage periods.
 Stress the payment processing system with multiple concurrent transactions,
including both successful and failed payment attempts.
 Test the website's response to sudden spikes in user activity, such as flash sales
or promotional offers.

 Test Environment:

 Set up a test environment consisting of multiple servers hosting the website


components, similar to the production environment.
 Use load balancers to distribute traffic across servers and simulate realistic user
interactions.
 Configure network conditions to emulate real-world latency and bandwidth
constraints.

 Test Cases:

 Execute automated test scripts to simulate user interactions, such as searching


for flights, hotels, and rental cars, and making bookings.
 Ramp up the number of virtual users gradually to simulate increasing traffic
loads over time.
 Monitor system behavior during stress testing, including response times,
transaction throughput, error rates, and server resource utilization.
 Execution Plan:

 Schedule stress tests during off-peak hours to minimize impact on actual users.
 Define test scenarios and sequences, allocating sufficient time for each test case.
 Coordinate with the development and operations teams to ensure readiness and
support during testing.

 Performance Metrics:

 Measure response times for key user actions, such as search queries, booking
transactions, and payment processing.
 Monitor server resource utilization, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, and
network bandwidth.
 Track error rates and system stability indicators to identify potential issues.

 Monitoring and Analysis:

 Implement monitoring tools to collect performance data in real-time during


stress testing.
 Analyze collected data to identify performance bottlenecks, scalability
limitations, and areas for optimization.
 Generate reports summarizing test results, findings, and recommendations for
improvement.

 Reporting and Documentation:

 Document the stress test plan, including objectives, scenarios, test cases, and
execution details.
 Prepare a comprehensive report detailing test results, observations, and
recommendations for optimizing the website's performance and scalability.
 Iterative Improvement:

 Use insights from stress testing to optimize system architecture, codebase, and
configurations.
 Iterate on the stress test plan periodically to validate performance
improvements and ensure continued reliability under high-demand situations.
