Load Test Results

A load test with 6 agents was executed with 2000-3000 calls per hour. The average call duration of a call was kept at 30 seconds.

Multiple load tests with the above load were executed to test the performance of the system. The application successfully synchronizes and fetches the stats with CCE while CCE behaves normally.
