Banking Application Testing Using Jmeter To Measure Performance

Since a banking application is a high-performance product that needs to serve users well-across all devices, platforms, and environments, find out how we helped client to meet their performance benchmarks using JMeter.

About Client

The client is a leading application development and application service provider (ASP) in banking and finance.

The application is a finance tracking application in which the client wants to manage customers' financial activities and updates on the web and mobile platforms.

The client wanted us to perform banking application testing to identify the application's performance under diverse conditions and the system's behavior on increasing the possible number of users in the future.

Product Overview

It was a finance tracking app that manages various financial activities of users. Under banking domain testing, we tested the application's performance under different conditions.

Some functionalities of the product:

User Authentication – Unique Login For Each User
User Profile Management

Track And Update Finances Of Users Accordingly And Smoothly

Product Challenges

During this project, we encountered various unique challenges, but we were able to cope with them with our different app testing strategies for each challenge.

It Was Hard To Get Each Test’s Threshold Even After Several Iterations.
Ajax Requests And The Scenarios In Which We Have To Create Scripts Were Quite Challenging.

Identify Or Predicting The Performance And Bottlenecks That Need To Improve For Expected Load Conditions.
Running An Iteration And Identify The Next Iteration’s Requirements Based On Different Parameters Was Also A Big Challenge.

It Required Experienced Domain Testers To Solve Complex Queries. Our Team Of Domain QA Experts Was Of Great Help.
Banking Is Vast; In The Initial Stage, It Was Hard To Understand Business Standards.

There Were Frequent Changes, And We Had To Act Fast.
The App Had A Fixed Release Date; It Was Challenging For Us To Test All Scenarios In A Limited Time.

Our Offerings For The Case

JMeter Testing

Product Solutions

Created A Test Strategy Based On The Client Requirement With A Custom Framework.
We Used The Test Script Recorder To Trace Ajax Request In The Application And Also Used JUnit Scripts By Integrating WebDriver.
Used “PerfMon Server Agent” To Monitor Server Resource Utilization E.G. CPU, RAM, Disk I/O And Network I/O.
Generated A Custom Test Execution Report That Provides A Simple And Clear View Of Each Iteration Results.
