For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. While high-volume traffic often boosts sales, it can also compromise uptimes. The nirvana state of system uptime at peak loads is known as “five-nines availability.” But is five nines availability attainable? Downtime per year. 90% (one nine).

Testing Strategies: A Summary Two key factors determined our testing strategies: Functional vs. non-functional requirements Idempotency If we were testing functional requirements like data accuracy, and if the request was idempotent , we relied on Replay Testing. In such cases, we were not testing for response data but overall behavior.
