Stress Testing on PalmViews Application: Case Study of Daily Production Monitoring Application at PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional II

Abstract

Performance testing is a crucial aspect in ensuring software quality, especially in systems with a high number of users. This research analyzes the performance of the PalmViews application through the stress testing method using K6, an open-source script-based test tool. The test was conducted by simulating a gradual spike in user load to evaluate response time, throughput, and error rate. Results showed a performance degradation when the number of virtual users exceeded the service capacity, indicating the system's tolerance limit. These findings form the basis for future application performance improvement and optimization.
