Nintex, a global leader in process management and automation, provides platforms such as Nintex Workflow Cloud and Salesforce-integrated DocGen solutions, serving a vast number of users across regions with high-performance expectations.

Challenge

As demand on Nintex’s asynchronous and synchronous document generation APIs (Salesforce DocGen API and Nintex Workflow API) increased, it became critical to validate whether the systems could sustain high volumes of document generation, particularly during peak periods. Nintex aimed to:

• Simulate realistic user and system behavior under load
• Validate performance benchmarks, KPIs, and SLA thresholds
• Identify and address bottlenecks in document generation pipelines
• Ensure reliable delivery of documents across geographies including the US and Europe

Testpoint’s Solution

To meet these goals, Testpoint designed a two-phase performance engagement structured as:

SLICE-1: Consulting & Preparation

• Delivered a Performance Load Test Plan
• Defined test file complexity, user types (automated vs attended), and infrastructure scope
• Partnered with Nintex teams to align Datadog monitoring and internal readiness

SLICE-2: Load Testing, Scripting & Execution

• Built Blazemeter test scripts for Salesforce and Workflow APIs
• Configured data-pooling and virtual user management
• Created three execution cycles using scaled ramp-ups
• Managed two load agents (USA-based) for test traffic injection
• Ran shakedown tests before each formal execution cycle
• Conducted results triage and remediation support with Nintex engineers

Outcomes

Through a tailored and data-driven load testing strategy, Testpoint empowered Nintex to confidently scale its document generation services, ensuring responsiveness and resilience across critical cloud applications and APIs. This engagement highlighted Testpoint’s strength in combining performance engineering with strategic consultancy to drive high-value outcomes for digital platforms.
