Test pre-state * Start

Test steps

  1. Log in to the server management console.
  2. Configure virtual machine instances according to specified requirements.
  3. Monitor system performance and resource utilization using built-in tools.
  4. Trigger a simulated increase in user traffic to test scalability.
  5. Verify that additional instances are provisioned and the system maintains responsiveness.
  6. Perform routine maintenance tasks, such as updates and patches.
  7. Ensure that high availability is maintained during maintenance procedures.

Test end-state

  • What happens after running the test: After running the test, the cloud-based infrastructure should be successfully configured and managed to ensure high availability and scalability of the web app. All steps in the test case should be completed without encountering any critical issues.

To be taken into account during test

  • Notion 1: Verify that appropriate security measures are in place to safeguard the cloud-based infrastructure and web app.
  • Notion 2: Ensure that resource allocation and scaling strategies are optimized to minimize costs while meeting performance requirements.

Test result (Pass/Fail Criteria)

  • PASS condition: All steps in the test case are completed successfully, and the cloud-based infrastructure demonstrates high availability and scalability.
  • FAIL condition: Any critical issues encountered during the test execution, such as failure to provision instances, lack of scalability under load, or disruption of service during maintenance.
