Avoid Black Friday E-Commerce Website Crashes
What happens when you don't do Black Friday testing?
Every year, e-commerce and retail websites whose owners have not prepared for Black Friday, crash. Company websites that slow down or don’t respond, drive buyers to competitors sites. It’s a no-brainer, customers will go where shopping is fun and easy. Once a customer leaves your site, who knows if they’ll come back.

Make Your Black Friday Load Testing a Success
- Start load testing early to catch bottlenecks earlier.
- Load test your complete stack. Infrastructure and software.
- Monitor your load test backend results. View and analyze performance KPIs.
- Create and simulate real world scenarios. Build scenarios based on user habits.
- Monitor user experience. Test web browsers and operating systems.
- Include third party partners and suppliers in your testing. Ensure dependencies and third party scripts to determine that all components are functioning.
- Test on mobile devices. Ensure a good desktop and mobile shopping experience.
“Running tests on BlazeMeter proved to be invaluable in preparing us for this huge event. It was especially useful for testing the database on the backend, I don’t know how we’d have simulated this in any other way.”
