Project scope

What is the main goal for this project?

Our company advertises thousands of products online. However, our platform is outdated, and we want to make some changes.

We would like to collaborate with students to conduct performance testing. This will help us identify specific areas of improvement.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our users, services, and products.
  • Identifying performance metrics and benchmarks.
  • Planning and designing performance tests.
  • Implementing and executing tests using performance testing tools.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Analyzing results and retesting.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Familiarity with our users, services, and products
  • Identification of performance metrics
  • Design of performance tests
  • Implementation and execution of tests

Bonus steps would include:

  • Analyzing results

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
  • A presentation.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our current products and services
  • Our current platform
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • Software development and mobile app development
