What is the P-A-S-S™ framework?

P-A-S-S™ stands for Performance, Availability, Scalability, and Stability. It’s Avekshaa’s structured framework for auditing a system across these four dimensions rather than looking at performance in isolation.

What does COMP-A-S-S™ do?

COMP-A-S-S™ is Avekshaa’s proprietary performance modelling platform. It runs simulations to predict system behaviour at future load levels and generates detailed audit reports in hours instead of weeks.

How long does a payment gateway performance audit typically take?

It depends on system complexity and how much of the reporting is automated. In this engagement, using COMP-A-S-S™ for reporting cut the work from an estimated 2 months down to a couple of hours, which reduced the total project timeline by around 100%.

What’s a “single point of failure” in a payment gateway architecture?

It’s any single component — a server, a database instance, a network link — that, if it fails, takes the whole system down because there’s no redundancy behind it. Identifying and removing these is standard practice in any scalability or availability audit.
