« Test Run is now more secure | Main | A Better Way to QA »

February 19, 2007

A few customers with very large accounts began experiencing performance problems with Test Run soon after it was officially released. These performance issues were restricted to only a few accounts, however they posed a risk to all customers when and if Test Run ever came under severe load. Therefore we sought to address these problems proactively by taking the following steps.

First we have optimized the database to make certain searches and queries faster and more efficient. We also deployed support for memcached throughout the application to eliminate unnecessary database queries.

Right now these enhancements have only been made available to users of Test Run Online, but they will soon be made available to users of the downloadable version of Test Run as well.
