Case Study: Global Law Firm achieves 20x faster workflow performance with iVision testing

Detailed Testing Reveals Application Weaknesses Ahead of a Global Rollout

Global Law Firm, an Am Law top 50 firm with 800 lawyers across 17 offices, needed to launch a custom web-based workflow application for worldwide use but first had to determine whether it could run quickly and reliably at scale. iVision helped the firm assess server capacity and application performance ahead of the global rollout, using Visual Studio Test Professional to simulate realistic user demand.

iVision set up load tests for up to 200 simultaneous users, enhanced them with a custom-built testing apparatus, and gathered more than 67 million performance metrics across the server network. The testing uncovered weaknesses and risks that were fixed with the internal IT team, and once resolved, the workflow software ran more than 20 times more efficiently, while the firm gained a clear understanding of its required server capacity and support needs.
