Performance Testing Tools and Best Practices for Pega 24.2 Constellation UI

Hello All,

We are currently implementing a new installation of Pega 24.2, and as part of our validation process, we’re planning to conduct automated performance testing.

We would greatly appreciate any suggestions on tools and best practices that have worked well for you in similar setups.

As a starting point, we are referring to the following resource:

Thank you in advance for your insights!

For testing performance in Pega 24.2 Constellation, you can use tools like JMeter or Gatling to test the backend APIs, since Constellation UI mostly talks to the server using DX API calls. Just record those API requests from the browser using dev tools and replay them with test data. For UI-level tests, Playwright works really well with React apps like Constellation it handles async rendering smoothly and supports full browser automation. Also, keep PDC or AES monitoring on during tests to catch slow database queries or rule performance issues. Make sure to simulate real user behavior, not just fire everything at once. Don’t forget to test with realistic data and flows, including conditional visibility and user roles. If you’re using CI/CD, look into Deployment Manager’s built-in testing support too

@Sairohith Thank you very much.
