Here in the U.S. it’s almost Thanksgiving. That means, of course, that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are not far behind. Black Friday is still a very big day for retail stores and ecommerce sites. But, as predicted, Black Friday has become “Black Fri-month” as retailers have been starting their promotions earlier and earlier to try to get a jump on the competition.
According to the Harvard Business Review (HBR), continuous development (what we usually call continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)) will change the world as much as the Agile revolution did. (See the original article here.)
The peak holiday shopping season is almost upon us and your e-commerce website must be ready to handle the traffic. Your customers won't wait for more than a couple of seconds for your pages to load.
Attend this webinar to learn about e-commerce website load testing best practices. Ensure the performance you need to meet demand.
Guest speaker: Michael Sjölin, Load Impact Professional Services
Now's the time when you are coming down to the wire on making sure that your e-commerce website is ready for the holiday rush. It's t-minus 66 days until Black Friday and even fewer days until the beginning of "Black Friday week," when many online retailers will start their sales.
The shift in development styles to rapid deployment (rapid app development) has been great in many ways for developers, for devops and for business. You’re likely implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery in as many places as you can. Or your CI/CD imperatives have come down from management.
You’ve run your baseline load tests and you’ve tracked what you think is regular user behavior with browsing, shopping carts, checkout and the like. But as experienced developers, we know one thing: there’s no such thing as “regular user behavior.” So when you’re ready to take your load testing to the next level, try this script showing you exactly how to randomize URLs in your load tests.
As a developer, you are being asked to get more deeply involved in the software testing and QA process. Delivering high quality code means not only passing functional tests, but also performance tests. The user experience of your website, app or API is highly dependent on performance.
Watch this webinar to learn how you can run performance tests as a developer using the open source load testing tool - k6. Guest speaker is Ragnar Lönn, the founder of Load Impact.
Load testing your site is vital if you want to make sure it can perform well under pressure. In fact, it’s a smart idea to run these tests frequently. However, this can be a time-consuming endeavor and can steal valuable time away from other tasks.
You can get around that problem by simply automating the load testing process. This way, you’ll be able to run as many tests as you’d like without disrupting your normal workflow. Plus, it will be easier for you to anticipate and deal with potential problems ahead of time.
In this post, we’ll discuss the basics of load testing and why you’d want to automate it. We’ll also show you how to set up automated load testing for your WordPress site. Let’s get started!
