Study And Implement Of Stress Testing Tools For A Card Game On IOS

With the increasing of software systems’ scale and complexity, software performance has attracted people’s attention gradually, especially in systems for high-volume capacity of concurrent users. Thus, before software being put into the market, stress tests on the software system is very necessary to find out the shortcomings of the software product performance to avoid possible losses.The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a tool for the stress test on our company’s gaming products, Pantheon:The Legend. To achieve this goal, the paper introduces some basic concepts of software stress testing, including software performance, reliability; testing purposes, methods, and discusses the characteristics of the game on mobile phones. Then this paper shows the detail of the game to be tested, and makes the program of stress testing depending on its function and features. It is the basis of the stress testing tool’s designing and implementing.Then, based on the results in the first part, this paper will design and implement a kind of stress test tools which can meet its demand. This tool will use XML documents as the test script, and have large amount of simulation concurrency.To be able to simulate more realistic test scenarios, so that the test results are more accurate, the thesis of stress tests to estimate the parameters, including the number of concurrent users, throughput, and users’ thinking time. Then will the user behavior analysis, the final results of this stress test for the use cases.Finally, this paper will use the test tools and test cases applied to the actual test case. Prior research results verify the practicality of two parts, while the reliability of the system for testing.
