3.4.4 Scalability and Performance Optimization

To support the dynamic and potentially high-traffic environment of college events, scalability
and performance optimization are integral considerations for Eventia. Research on scalable
architectures and performance tuning methods was conducted to ensure that Eventia can handle
increased loads during peak event periods, such as registration opening or live events. Scalability
in Eventia’s design allows it to accommodate additional events, users, and interactions without
compromising performance.

The platform employs a microservices architecture, where components such as authentication,

payment processing, and notifications are modularized, allowing for independent scaling of each
service as needed. Additionally, caching mechanisms, such as Redis, are used to speed up data
retrieval for frequently accessed information, reducing server load and enhancing response times
for users. Load balancing techniques are applied to distribute user requests evenly across servers,
minimizing the risk of downtime or lag. Performance monitoring tools are also implemented to
track system health in real time. This allows the development team to proactively address
bottlenecks and make adjustments to maintain optimal performance. These scalability and
optimization efforts ensure that Eventia remains reliable and responsive, even as its user base
and feature set expand over time

8.9.3 White Box Testing (Conceptual Testing)

White Box Testing also known Code-Based Testing or Logical Testing is a software testing
technique that exposes the internal implementation or the internal structure of the system or the
code. The testing is to be performed by someone who is a hard coder or the programmer. It is
something ahead of the user interface as it has nothing to do with the external structure or the
interface but is concerned about the internal design/ structure or the implementation. The testing
is employed to thus test the internal workings of the proposed system or the application.
