CodeArts PerfTest in Huawei Cloud: Enhancing Application Performance
Introduction
Hi everyone! In this article, I will introduce Performance Test Service which is one of the most important service of CodeArts in Huawei Cloud.
In today’s digital world, application performance is paramount. Slowdowns and outages directly impact your bottom line and user satisfaction. This presentation introduces Huawei Cloud CodeArts PerfTest, a powerful cloud-based solution that ensures your applications are resilient, scalable, and deliver exceptional user experiences. Discover how CodeArts PerfTest helps you proactively identify bottlenecks, optimize performance, and handle high-load scenarios with ease.
What is Performance Testing?
Today’s structures, distributed architecture and microservice technologies have made applications more complex. This complexity results in architecture decoupling and performance improvements. However, it also makes it harder to locate performance problems in the production environment, and the repair periods become longer. Performance tests in advance of application launches are therefore necessary.
Performance testing is to test the performance of the system by simulating normal, peak and abnormal load conditions using the automated test tools.
With the rapid development of cloud computing, Cloud testing can provide better testing resources and tools and more flexibly meet different testing requirements.
CodeArts Performance Test Overview
CodeArts PerfTest is a cloud service that provides API and E2E performance tests of applications, which are built based on HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, UDP and more. The rich capability of test model definition can be used to restore scenarios of large-scale concurrent service access, helping users identify application performance problems in advance.
PerfTest simplify the performance pressure test work and focus more on services and performance problems. Also it reduce costs, improve stability, optimize user experience and help enterprises to increase business value.
Application Scenarios of CodeArts PerfTest
PerfTest allows you to build performance test models, transmit simulated traffic to applications with PerfTest executors, view resource monitoring and tracing status of applications, and monitor concurrent processing capabilities to facilitate performance optimization.
PerfTest has the following advantages in this scenario:
Flexible expansion: PerfTest supports multiple performance tests and on-demand expansion of executor clusters.
One-stop solution: PerfTest can record and report concurrency capabilities, response latency, CPU or memory usage, and microservice processing latency.
Pay-per-use: You are charged based on the duration of your performance test and the scale of concurrency.
PerfTest simplifies performance pressure testing by realistically simulating complex user traffic patterns, including multi-transaction scenarios, burst traffic, and fluctuating user loads. Its flexible model customization, burst traffic simulation, and customizable result verification empower you to accurately assess and optimize application performance.
E-Commerce Shopping Test
PerfTest ensures e-commerce flash sale success by simulating millions of concurrent user requests, accurately mirroring real-world traffic. Detailed performance reports, including response latency metrics, provide insights into user experience. Customizable retry mechanisms using expressions allow for simulating persistent user behavior, ensuring a robust and reliable platform even under high-load conditions.
Game Service Test
HUAWEI CLOUD PerfTest empowers you to rigorously test your game’s auto-scaling capabilities under realistic peak and off-peak conditions.
Here’s how PerfTest ensures optimal game performance:
Real-world Simulation: Combine diverse transactions and custom packets to mirror actual player behavior.
Dynamic Load Testing: Create tailored pressure curves for each game action, simulating both peak and off-peak scenarios.
Performance Validation: Measure critical KPIs with custom response timeouts, verifying your game’s resilience during traffic bursts.
Conclusion:
CodeArts PerfTest is a cloud-based performance testing service that simulates real-world user traffic to identify performance bottlenecks in applications. It supports a wide range of protocols and offers flexible test model definition to replicate complex scenarios. PerfTest provides detailed test reports, including performance metrics and resource usage, helping users optimize their applications for better performance, stability, and user experience. It’s particularly useful for scenarios like e-commerce flash sales and game server testing where high concurrency and burst traffic are common.
