Back to collectionAn Overnight Load Test Before the Public Test
Background: The card game is about to enter a public test, and the reviews and narrowed launch scope of the past few days point to the same need: the server must withstand real players arriving at once. Today: Everyone began load-testing the server on this preparation day and worked until after midnight. Impact and next: The team moved the discussion from whether it could open the test to how the server behaved under pressure, and saw that fixing issues and observing a complete run could compete with each other.

Background: The card game is about to enter a public test, and the reviews and narrowed launch scope of the past few days point to the same need: the server must withstand real players arriving at once. The team set this day aside for a formal load test.
Today: Everyone began load-testing the server on this preparation day and worked until after midnight. As they applied load, they recorded periods when congestion was likely. Some argued that they should stop to fix obvious problems first; others wanted to finish the full run to preserve an overall view.
Impact and next: The team moved the discussion from whether it could open the test to how the server behaved under pressure, and saw that fixing issues and observing a complete run could compete with each other. The issue list and adjustments still need to be organized; whether tomorrow’s community public test will go smoothly depends on what they decide next.
