Challenges Solutions Results

Performance testing should provide insight about the application behavior under normal and peak load times which provide seamless and reliable user experience under different circumstances.

Aspire utilized and implemented an open source performance monitoring framework to replace existing commercial products. The deployed solution significantly reduced operational cost and was used to generate multiple millions of simultaneous virtual users to test some of the world’s biggest events like The World Cup, Cuppa America and the US Presidential Debates.

Challenges

High cost of commercial products restricted the number of conducted runs and constrained upscaling strategy.

Commercial products required a fixed subscription irrespective to utilization.

Closed source tools limited migration options.

Solutions

Aspire utilized and implemented an open source performance monitoring framework to replace existing commercial products.

Migrated existing LoadRunner based scripts to open source solutions like JMeter and Gatling.

Developed scripts to dynamically spin AWS instances on demand.

Transitioned from using inhouse load generators to cloud based solutions such as Blazemeter/AWS.

Results

60% reduction in operational cost.

Ability to dynamically scale up inexpensive clud-based load generators with multi-million virtual user capacity.

Scripts are no longer dependent on a specific vendor implementation and can be easily migrated to different performance providers.

Ability to measure the performance for major worldwide events such as World Cup (2018), Cuppa America & US Presidential Debate broadcasters for millions of users.
