Stress Testing Prevent a Swamping?

Posted Thu, 01/22/2009 - 1:01am by Scott Price

It depends. Stress testing tools can be invaluable for finding the breaking point for a web application. But even the best tool and test plan won't fix the problem.

The purpose of stress and load testing is to discover. Measuring response time and errors relative to user volume can point to solutions; however, the developer(s) must engage in performance tuning to eliminate bottlenecks or otherwise improve throughput.

The hard work is the tuning. That's what prevents a swamping.

Even then, if your app/website is wildly successful, beyond your greatest expectations, you could get swamped. I guess these folks in Mobile couldn't have tested their way clear of Katrina.

The GM&O building in Mobile, AL is surrounded by water due to flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005.
