Abstract

The aim of our study is to investigate whether an automated software testing system can provide a solution for efficient and accurate stress testing in addition to functional software testing. The stress testing is presented through a real business problem in a case study: the InFoRex system developed by FX Software PLC. is stress tested. Due to running the test, a clearer picture of the system's limits is obtained. The test results show that the reliability of the system can be guaranteed even in critical situations. Software designed to store the results can give an early warning if a development is going in the wrong direction. We point out that we can put a much higher load on software automatically with drastically lower resource requirements, but this still requires human control. Overall, stress test automation helps a company to develop high quality and stable software with low resource consumption.
