Workload Modeling: A Game-Changer for E-Commerce Performance Testing

Abstract

E-commerce platforms ensure continuous customer service throughout peak transaction periods through their vital operational capabilities. Performance testing offers essential validation that these platforms can handle variable transaction loads. This research investigates the impact of workload modeling techniques on enhancing performance testing procedures for e-commerce systems. Through simulation of real user actions workload models identify performance bottlenecks and scalability aspects while improving resource management capabilities. This study assesses various workload modeling approaches while analyzing established tools and outlines best practices for their application during performance testing stages. The paper concludes with an analysis of application challenges and suggests new research areas for developing workload models in e-commerce systems.
