    Load Testing Mobile Applications Case Study

    A client developed an application to manage statewide childcare entitlements and needed to ensure it met strict state-mandated specifications. This required simulating the activity of over 4,000 mobile devices, enabling tasks such as checking children in and out of daycare, performing daily administrative duties, and maintaining detailed interaction records for future reporting.

    Our team collaborated closely with the client’s developers to design and implement use cases tailored to real-world scenarios. These use cases were then coded and executed within a controlled test environment. To further validate system performance, we conducted a data load simulating one year of operations for approximately 100,000 families.

    During testing, several critical issues were uncovered, including load balancing inefficiencies, suboptimal server instance provisioning (fewer CPUs were provisioned than planned, resulting in reduced capacity), and excessive user access to unnecessary data.

    After addressing these challenges, the final version of the system exceeded all performance and capacity requirements. It successfully supported up to 30,000 children being actively checked in and out of daycare, alongside 4,000+ staff users managing daily operations, ensuring seamless performance even under peak conditions.
