Performance Testing

AIGard tests how your system behaves under load, so you know its limits before your users find them. We identify bottlenecks and help fix them.

The work typically covers:

• Load, stress and soak testing
• Realistic traffic modeling
• Bottleneck analysis
• Database and API tuning recommendations
• Capacity planning
• Performance checks in CI/CD

Performance Testing is usually the right investment in one or more of these situations:

• A launch or peak season is coming
• The system slows as usage grows
• You're changing architecture or infrastructure
• You need to prove a service level

On a 30-minute scoping call we confirm whether it fits your case and recommend a team shape and first milestones.

AIGard sets the load for performance testing from your real traffic patterns and growth plans, plus a margin for peaks.

We model realistic traffic and then run load, stress and soak tests against it. The same inputs inform capacity planning, so you understand the system's limits ahead of a launch, a peak season or a change in architecture or infrastructure.

Yes. AIGard reports the bottlenecks it finds with recommendations, and our engineers can implement the fixes.

Bottleneck analysis typically leads to database and API tuning recommendations, which your team can act on or hand to us. Once fixes are in place, performance checks can be added to CI/CD so that later changes are tested against the same expectations.

From the start. Test strategy defined alongside requirements prevents defects that are expensive to remove later.

AIGard QA engineers can work inside your team, as part of a dedicated team, or as an owned testing engagement.

We review the existing code and architecture, then agree what to keep, refactor or replace.

Work is sequenced so the business keeps running while the system changes, with testing protecting behaviour that must not regress.

For Performance Testing, AIGard engineers typically work with Python, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

The stack is selected to fit the systems you already run, and engineers are matched to it before they join.

Performance Testing is available through any of AIGard’s three engagement models: staff augmentation, where engineers join your team; a dedicated team that runs the workstream; or software outsourcing, where AIGard delivers a defined project.

The choice depends on how much of the delivery you want to manage, and it can change later under the same agreement.

Engineers typically start within two to four weeks of the scoping call. The exact date depends on the roles, seniority and number of people required.

We confirm a realistic start date in writing before you commit, and you meet the proposed engineers before work begins.

AIGard engineers typically cost 30–50% less than the fully loaded cost of a comparable US-based hire, with no recruiting fees, benefits overhead or insurance costs on your side.

The figure for a specific engagement depends on the model, the roles, the seniority mix and the size of the team. We issue a written proposal after the scoping call, so the commercial terms are agreed before any work starts.

NDAs are signed before any access is given, and engineers work inside your environment under least-privilege access, with permissions limited to their responsibilities.

Access is reviewed as roles change and removed when work ends. Our practices align with ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA, with PII masking, encryption and audit logging built into data work. We review your access policies, data-handling needs and vendor requirements during scoping.

You do. Intellectual property assignment is written into every contract, in every engagement model.

That covers source code, designs, documentation, data, models and prompts produced for you. Third-party components and their licenses are identified, so ownership is clear at handover.
