Sample Work with a Client –Customized Performance Testing

IssueVolume was continually increasing for UPC, and they needed to increase both their processing hardware and their disaster recovery location hardware. There also needed to be a mechanism to count requests sent and responses received, providing a detailed report on activity for every second of processing time.

Client Ukrainian Processing Center (UPC) – largest acquirer of credit card transactions in Ukraine – majority owned by an Austrian Bank

SolutionSoftjourn designed and developed a POS devices simulator as a multi-threaded service for Linux, with a Unix domain socket interface. This service creates virtual POS terminals and generates transaction traffic to a specified processing server. The service performs extended logging which aids in problem determination such as when the transaction server fails to process all the requests.

What Do They Say About Softjourn

Softjourn was excellent at communication and kept the

Project on track, even with scope changes. Daily Skype

meeting and weekly calls contributed to a well-run project. Softjourn’s code

delivery was clear and included details of the changes that were added; this made it very easy to see the progress being made.
