Samuel Morakinyo developed and enhanced performance testing capabilities for the govuk-one-login/performance-testing repository, focusing on authentication, identity, and address verification flows. He designed and implemented granular load testing profiles using TypeScript and k6, enabling realistic simulation of peak and varied traffic scenarios. Samuel improved test automation and configuration management, refining ramp-up durations and scenario iteration controls to better mirror production usage. His work addressed code quality through targeted linting fixes and streamlined test validation logic, reducing false positives and maintenance overhead. These contributions deepened test coverage, supported capacity planning, and improved the reliability of performance signals for production readiness.

Month 2025-04: Focused on strengthening performance testing coverage for authentication flow in govuk-one-login/performance-testing. Delivered Authentication Load Testing Enhancements to more accurately simulate peak load for signUp and signIn, introduced perf006Iteration3PeakTest profile, and refined ramp-up durations to mirror real-world usage. These changes reduce production risk by enabling earlier bottleneck detection and capacity planning under peak conditions.

March 2025 performance-testing summary for govuk-one-login/performance-testing. 1) Key features delivered: Expanded Authentication/OLH performance test profiles with spike-based load profiles (spikeI2HighTraffic, spikeI2LowTraffic) and peak/iteration-based scenarios (perf006Iteration2PeakTest); updated I2 test profiles, duration/arrival-rate tweaks, and removal of outdated profiles; terminology aligned with current test flows. AIS Performance Test Configuration Enhancements: increased pre-allocated VUs and max VUs, higher target concurrency, and refined ramp-up to stress AIS. 2) Major bugs fixed: AIS test content validation now searches for 'intervention' rather than 'Perf Testing' to correctly identify intervention data. 3) Overall impact and accomplishments: Broader, more realistic load testing coverage, improved reliability of performance signals, and reduced maintenance overhead through profile cleanup and standardization. 4) Technologies/skills demonstrated: Load testing design and automation, test scripting (Auth AIS scripts), configuration management, test data validation, ramp-up planning, and cross-team test terminology alignment.
