Applications fail to meet end-user expectations when performance engineering is carried out at the very end of the software development life cycle. We deploy it right at the design stage of the development life cycle. This helps us build effective solutions with a quantifiable ROI.
Business challenges
- Is performance built into your product / application or is it an afterthought?
- Have you maximized your product / application's performance?
- Ever experienced a situation where the overall cost was lower for a high-performance, highly-reliable application?
- Can you assure your customers that your application will not fail under peak loads and back it up with data?
Key aspects
- Define performance: Comprehends the customer's perception of performance and re-evaluates from user’s perspective, while assessing the competition and industry standards
- Build performance: Tunes and builds performance, based on performance objectives and analysis
- Measure performance: Tracks relevant metrics to measure product / application performance against the set objectives
Key differentiators
- Full-cycle performance engineering services
- Proprietary frameworks that accelerate and optimize testing processes
- Expertise in database, high volume transaction systems and related technologies
- On-demand performance analysts and architects to improve product performance
- On-demand capacity planning and sizing assistance
- Expertise in proprietary, open source (JMeter) and third party tools (load runner, VSTS)

Success stories
World's leading provider of virtual data room services
The customer wanted to conduct performance assessment for all the releases of a document management system product. They wanted to establish and validate the benchmarks for business critical transactions and ensure that application was scalable. Mindtree provided end-to-end performance engineering services which included performance benchmarking, testing and providing tuning recommendations.
Business benefits
- 100% improvement in throughput for email-in transactions
- 30% improvement in response time of document download and process activation
- 30% improvement of CPU utilization for uploading documents
- 60% drop in stop the world scenarios during garbage collection exercise
A leading American developer and distributor of video games
The customer engaged Mindtree for application development and independent testing of their customer experience portal. The project had numerous challenges, such as simulating large number of concurrent users (3000+) using cost effective load generating tools. Business logic execution through multiple java scripts created problems in performance script creation. Mindtree used Performance Execution Framework (PEF) to simulate large number of virtual user using REST protocol. PEF was utilized to monitor several Linux application servers.
Business benefits
- Timely and seamless release with zero performance issues reported on production for the application’s spring release
- 90% reduction in the licensing cost through PEF
- 90% performance improvement in the application response time
- 10% drop in garbage collection time
A leading provider of information services, software and workflow tools for tax, accounting and legal.
The customer engaged Mindtree to performance test the critical business scenarios of the application for defined user load, to identify the architectural flaws of the application and tune the critical business scenarios in application.
Mindtree provided end-to-end performance engineering services which included benchmarking, performance testing and performance tuning of the application.
Business benefits
- 40% increase in application throughput
- Identified code hot path and reduced execution time by 100%
- Best coding practices were created for future products
- Identified memory leaks and reduced memory footprint of each service call by 30 Mb
