Taking the stress out of performance testing
Thanks to its unified approach, t3 allows the same test scripts to be used across functional, regression, integration and performance modes without requiring separate preparation. This key differentiator from other testing tools delivers significant benefits, including time and resources savings through maximum test reuse. t3’s flexibility also allows organisations to schedule performance tests on demand or automate them during off-peak periods, minimising disruption while ensuring comprehensive coverage. Here are the platform’s key capabilities.
Load testing
Simulations of high-user and transaction volumes enable businesses to understand how their payment systems respond to heavy loads. These can be customised to test internal applications in production, or reflect real-world usage patterns, including ramp-up times and peaks.
Stress testing
With threshold testing, users can push platforms beyond their operational limits to identify vulnerabilities – like low transaction-per-second performance – and evaluate behaviour under extreme conditions. Additionally, t3’s resource monitoring tracks CPU, memory and bandwidth during tests to identify bottlenecks and systemic lags.
Performance metrics collection
Thanks to an ability to collect real-time data during testing, innovators can stay on top of important metrics such as response times, error rates and throughput. Post test, Iliad’s platform provides comprehensive reports that not only summarise the vital stats, but also highlight potential issues.
Scalability testing
Financial institutions that need to process high volumes of payments round-the-clock can perform extended simulations over a 24-hour period on any day of the week to confirm systems work under heavy loads. Cloud-native architecture, with DevOps automation tools, makes it easy to scale up resources and support literally thousands of testers across multiple test teams. And with flexible deployment options, businesses can use t3 on-premise, via VMs, containers or the cloud.
CI/CD pipeline integration
t3 integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous automated performance testing throughout software development cycles. With regression testing, users can run performance and function tests simultaneously, preventing updates from slowing payments while optimising resource management.
User-friendly interface
There’s no need for extensive training with Iliad. Our software allows users of all levels of technical ability to effortlessly configure tests. This is all underpinned by clear visualisation and device-to-device communication functionality.
