 1. Executive Summary
MMA INFOSEC Performance Testing & Engineering teams have extensive experience in
providing cutting-edge services to global clients. Our Performance Testing and Load Testing
expertise spans a wide range of applications including client-server, web, distributed,
mobile, cloud databases, high-volume transaction systems, and highly complex applications.
Our technical team provides end-to- end performance testing solutions to help our clients
launch future-proof applications with high responsiveness, availability, and scalability.

The web application performance testing covers performance engineering, including

capacity planning, baseline test, load, stress, endurance, and benchmarking against
competitors, production monitoring, and consulting. Our key website performance testing
differentiators include:
• Comprehensive analysis and recommendations for performance improvements
• Optimized cost model including pay as you go options.
• Certified SMEs with strong expertise on Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)/Open-
source tools and application technologies
• Partnerships and alliances that enable recommendations of right tools, solutions, and R&D
initiatives.

2. Types of Performance Testing Services

➢ Load Testing
Our skilled engineers analyze the system behaviors under a set of expected load variations
that pinpoints the number of users the system can handle with their response time.

➢ Stress Testing
This testing is typically done to identify the maximum operating capacity of the system at
extreme load.
conditions. Its main purpose is to check that servers do not crash at any load conditions.

➢ Scalability Testing
By using scalability testing we determine the reason and the point where the system stops
scaling. The significant results of the scalability test can be used to plan for future growth
and avoid over -investment in hardware.

➢ Stability Testing

To evaluate the risk of downtime planning maintenance activities we run tests to check
whether the system remains stable over an extended time span (including 24/7
operation).
➢ Soak Testing
Soak Testing is performed to determine if the application under test can sustain the
continuous production loads. This type of test can identify issues relating to memory
allocation, log file handles, and database resource utilization.
➢ Spike Testing
Spike testing is pivotal to performance testing type to ensure that extreme increase and
decrease of production load is sustained by the system. Determine the behavior of a
software application when it receives extreme variations in traffic.
➢ Volume Testing
Our team of experts identifies the capacity of the system or application whether it is
normal or heavy. This identification further helps to resolve and identify the problems that
are likely to occur with a large amount of data. It measures the response time of the
system when data input is very large. Another key purpose of volume testing is to ensure
all the data entered for the purpose of the test is considered and not lost.

3. We work with tools like

• LoadRunner / Performance Centre
• Microsoft VSTS / Visual Studio Ultimate
• NeoLoad
• WebLoad
• OpenSTA
• Silk Performer
• Apache JMeter

4. Performance Testing Methodology

Performance testing for software applications and systems is conducted to highlight specific
requirements and compliance issues. It is our responsibility to ensure your software product
delivers seamless functionality under significant workload to be available for real-life
operations.

• Software analysis & essential requirements.

• Strategize design.
• Configure load generation.
• Monitoring of servers and load generation
• Test data generation.

• Results assessment and comprehensive reporting

5. The Need for Load and Performance Testing

The consistent and reliable performance of the business-critical applications and the apps
designed for facilitating convenience to the customers are the key to success. While
designing and developing a software or an app, we often test it to ensure that whether it is
delivering the required functionality or not, whether all the features which were required in
the app are actually there or not, whether there is a performance issue or a bug in the
application or not, but, to ensure the complete flawlessness, we only test an app generally,
and not under the peak load.

Most of the apps which perform well under the normal load sometimes crash due to higher
load and thus, it’s important to indulge in load and performance testing services to find out
whether the app or software delivers the services efficiently even under the peak load or
fails to perform as expected.

Load and Performance testing use efficient tools to evaluate the efficiency of an app under
the different loads to find out up till which load it can bear and when the load starts affecting
its performance.

6. Load and Performance Testing Services

Our performance and load testing services are aimed at evaluating the performance of
components in a particular system and under different loads. Our performance and load
testing services evaluate the app or software on various aspects, and we perform reliability
testing, scalability testing, endurance testing, stress testing, load testing, capacity testing
and load testing.

We offer our clients the complete solution for the performance testing, right from the
detection and analysis to the corrective action for improving the performance. With our
comprehensive infrastructure and knowledge base, we can help our clients save
development time, effort and cost.

 7. Activity Summary
Customer has implemented an Enterprise Business Applications (EBA) under Transmission
system to manage the business processes of Operation & Maintenance (O&M) section. The
EBA for Transmission system is a software application customized and deployed to
manage the on-line business transactions at all relevant establishments under
Transmission system and HQ, Kolkata of Damodar Valley Corporation (Customer).

In future, if any business process is affected by any change in policy, the same shall have
to be identified in the prevailing version of this document by SPE Department for approval
of the process owner i.e. Executive Director (System). The approved changes shall be
communicated to IT for its implementation in the EBA System. The modified system shall
be thoroughly tested by the representatives of the process owner and certified by the
process owner before the changes are made effectively in the go-live of the EBA system.
This document shall be revised accordingly, and a new version shall be published.

During Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, aside from Functionality Audit on
the Application (ERP Solution), we have observed that the application has been developed
using multiple Forms. It has been observed that excluding Landing Page, every form has
the same URL except one Module.
In Stress Testing, we need to identify URLs for different entry point pages. Using tools and
software, we use to hit multiple entry points multiple times. This application has issues
related to URL. Stress Testing is not advisable as it may be ended with Server Failure.
However, stress testing has been conducted.

 10. Conclusion
The operations module will enable the users to capture the values of operational parameters
used in the Transmission system and use this information for analysis of performance and
reporting.

With reference to our conducted performance stress testing, it was evident that the software
is having capability to support operations seamlessly with benchmarked hardware and
software infrastructure. The entire testing process included many parameters and criteria
like User Authentication, User Management, Session Management, Password Management,
