Description

We need to have confidence that the site performs well with a low speed connection. Once the system has been deployed we should build automated tests that check the time to load various parts of the system. Some thought will need to go in to determining what a useful test is from the point of view of the user - the site might still be loading in the background but usable.

All performance tests should assume a connection speed of 1 Mbit/s but may also want to measure at 500Kbit/s. 1Mbit/s is the speed available on the ICIPE guest wifi.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A way of measuring a meaningful load time for the site has been created and documented.
  • Where possible automated tests for the performance have been created.

Research direction

No files or existing tests are named. Start by reviewing the deployed site and defining a meaningful user-perceived load time at 1 Mbit/s, with 500 Kbit/s as an optional comparison. Done means the measurement is documented and automated performance checks exist where feasible.
