Case Study: UWE Bristol achieves scalable student application performance with Prolifics Testing

UWE Bristol processes 21,000 student enquiries in an hour with Prolifics Testing

UWE Bristol, a prestigious university, needed to ensure its newly implemented Salesforce Education Cloud could reliably scale under heavy usage to manage prospective student enquiries. They engaged Prolifics Testing to conduct performance testing to identify system bottlenecks and validate capacity for peak load conditions.

Prolifics Testing designed and executed load and stress tests using Apache JMeter, simulating critical user journeys. The testing successfully confirmed the platform could process 21,000 student enquiries per hour with excellent response times. It also identified and helped resolve a critical bottleneck in staff processing under mixed loads. Prolifics Testing provided the data-driven insights needed for UWE Bristol to confidently proceed with the full-scale rollout.
