Case Study: Cdiscount achieves reliable peak-season performance with Neotys NeoLoad Cloud Testing

Cdiscount Prepares for Critical Sales Seasons Using Neotys Cloud Testing Solution

Cdiscount, France’s leading e‑commerce retailer (part of the Casino group with ~10 million customers and hundreds of thousands of daily visitors), needed to ensure its site could withstand extreme traffic peaks—notably the January sales when tens of thousands of shoppers connect simultaneously. Their previous testing approach couldn’t reproduce realistic browsing at that scale, so they required a more flexible, scalable performance‑testing solution to protect user experience and sales.

Cdiscount implemented Neotys’ NeoLoad with the Neotys Cloud Testing Platform to run realistic, large‑scale load tests that combine local and on‑demand cloud resources. This allowed simulation of tens of thousands of simultaneous users, real‑time monitoring and quick validation of fixes, while avoiding the cost of hundreds of servers—delivering responsive, cost‑effective test campaigns and stronger confidence for peak sales events.
