Performance testing on the shopee website in the pandemic period of COVID-19

Abstract

A competitive and contend website becomes the goal of all stakeholders. The website also becomes very influential because it involves the visitor's perception of it. When the visitor's enthusiasm for a website is getting higher, the quality of the website is also getting better. Still, if the website visitor quantity is getting higher, the stress level of web e-commerce is also getting higher, and these factors affect the performance of a website. The testing is needed as the benchmark to determine system deficiencies. The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of the Shopee website before the pandemic period and during the pandemic period. The testing tool used is Apache JMeter. The research results are obtained by doing the stress testing, and it is also evidenced by the user enthusiasm assessment of the questionnaire results. The result of the study is directly proportional, i.e. the website stress level increases as the increasing visit rate, with the error rate up to 26.
