CAPACITY TESTING

Permanence and stability of your payment platform

Home » CAPACITY TESTING

When it comes to ensuring the proper functioning of a payment platform, constant software testing must be performed.

These tests assure your customers that they can constantly and, above all, stably meet the requirements they demand of them.

Currently, one of the biggest challenges for companies that manage this type of systems is to expose themselves to failures that compromise their reputation in a technological environment in which the failure or poor performance of a payment platform or transactional service channel can mean loss of money and a decrease in the competitiveness of their business.

Among the tests created to perfect this type of software are the capacity tests that, together with the load and stress tests, are part of the set of non-functional tests that have the great objective of constantly testing the projects in order to anticipate failures and have a plan to counteract them.

What are capacity tests, and what is their purpose?

Capacity tests are focused on measuring, as its name suggests, the capacity of your platform through the maximum number of users or transactions that it allows, that is, although it uses the same elements and the same dynamics of load and stress tests, capacity tests are guided towards the search for stability and continuity of the system in proper operation while it reaches its ceilings or reaches its breaking point.

Executing these tests not only allows the correct operation of a system, but can also help those involved in the development, quality and operability of the system to know the limits that they manage in the long term and thus be able to exploit the capabilities of the system they manage even at commercial levels.

Among its benefits is also the ability to accurately know the traffic estimates at different points of the day, especially at critical times such as peak hours to avoid failures that could lead to downtime and economic losses, in addition to other advantages such as improved planning for different eventualities that may occur and the optimization of resources and time, a gain shared by all software testing.

Let's connect the world together

At CLAI PAYMENTS® Technologies we have developed and perfected this type of testing through PAYTESTER®, a payment simulator and testing system that, besides allowing you to identify transactional limits and work on the prevention and recognition of the reasons for different service breaks, helps you to clearly understand how the transaction load can affect your payment systems and the limitations or errors in order to always be one step ahead.
