🔰 Observations:

  • Doctor Consultation - The maximum response times for this particular activity was pretty high under both 40 and 70 concurrent tests. The services responsible for this activity is under analysis and will be prioritised for performance improvement.

Note: The tests performed here are of most demand to users using Bahmni lite compared to the real world clinic activities. So it is assumed safe to implement for the suggested concurrent users under a cluster even when the maximum time response numbers for some activities are not optimal at the moment under test.

⭕️ Base Configuration

The below details are historical data observed during each tests with different configurations at the start of performance analysis for Bahmni lite. Kindly view them for data purposes and not as references.
