Enterprises have to keep pace with ever changing technology to stay competitive and deliver a superior customer experience. It is essential to ensure that your IT systems and applications have optimal performance and efficiency. In this context, performance benchmarking is becoming more crucial than ever.

Rather than use the typical black-box testing approach, Avekshaa's Performance Benchmarking Solution tailors the validation to the customer's specific architecture to assess whether it meets all current and future requirements. This architecture-focused testing is much more effective in exposing fault lines that can cause performance disruptions during production.

The solution scope covers all types of IT systems and applications, involving some or all layers of the technology stack, and also includes COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) products.

Our Approach

• Our Performance Benchmarking Methodology helps define a benchmarking strategy, develop performance testing plans and also helps in designing the environment for a realistic simulation.
• Our team defines the appropriate workload model and creates the test bed for simulations. A range of tests are executed to completely validate the Performance, Availability, Security and Scalability (P-A-S-S™) levels of your application.
• We work with a wide range of performance testing tools including open-source, and can easily adapt to the tools you have in your enterprise.
• Our experience in optimizing extremely hyper-scale systems and understanding their architectures places us in a unique position to define a customized benchmarking strategy.

Avekshaa helps enterprise customers to setup a P-A-S-S™ CoE(Centre of Excellence) in their organization that progressively moves them towards higher Performance, Availability, Security and Scalability (P-A-S-S™) maturity levels, enables internal teams to shorten delivery cycles and instills greater confidence in the delivery process. We have setup CoEs that handle the performance gating of critical applications and CRs in our clients' environment and ensure that the Performance, Availability, Security and Scalability (P-A-S-S™) levels are progressively improved even as upgrades and updates are constantly being done.

Our Approach

• We define a clear program plan for the CoE, with a structured governance process, strategic enhancement of performance testing capabilities and performance management tools and infrastructure, and leverage our unique P-A-S-S™ Assurance Platform and Methodologies.
• Our performance testing methodology forms the core of our CoE approach and helps define the performance strategy and test plans, and also helps in environment design for realistic simulation.
• Our team helps define the right work load model and creates a test bed for simulations. A variety of tests are covered to thoroughly validate the Performance, Availability, Security and Scalability (P-A-S-S™) levels of your application.
• We also cover critical activities like architecture and design reviews, code reviews, SLA definition and performance modeling which provide significant advantages over the typical "test-only" approach.
• Our proven Avekshaa Optimization and Audit methodology from our P-A-S-S™ Assurance Platform adds significant value to the CoE. The methodology helps us define a precise optimization strategy for each technology platform.
• We customize the strategy for the different applications handled by the CoE and collect relevant data points from the entire technology stack during the performance testing cycles. Using the Avekshaa P-A-S-S™ Assurance Platform, we analyse the collected data and identify bottlenecks as well as optimization opportunities across the system.
• We optimize the entire tech stack: operating system, hardware, network, application servers, web servers, database servers and all peripheral components. We provide a definitive action plan to address the bottlenecks and work with your team to implement them.

Avekshaa offers performance testing solutions to validate the performance levels of your applications using Avekshaa Performance Testing Methodology (part of the P-A-S-S™ Assurance Platform). Our team can define the appropriate workload model and create the test bed for realistic simulations. A range of tests viz. load tests, endurance tests, stress tests, failover tests etc. are executed to completely validate Performance, Availability, Security and Scalability (P-A-S-S™) levels of your application.

The solution scope covers all types of IT systems and applications, involving some or all layers of the technology stack, and also includes COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) products.

Our Approach

• Our differentiated architecture-focussed performance testing process starts with discovery and analysis of the system architecture. This step enables us to define a performance test strategy that is much more effective in exposing fault lines that can cause performance disruptions in production.
• We also create a performance management strategy, support data setup activities, develop testing scripts using various tools, execute scripts and collect relevant metrics for analysis.
• We work with a wide range of performance testing tools including open-source, and can easily adapt to the tools you have in your enterprise.
• We optimize the entire tech stack: operating system, hardware, network, application servers, web servers, database servers and all peripheral components.
