This document outlines a performance testing strategy for a cloud-based system using an open source testing tool. It describes introducing virtual users gradually from 1 to 3000 to test response times. Response times remained under 5 seconds for up to 1500 users but slowed for 3000 users. Testing showed faster response for high-speed internet and unloaded servers. The strategy successfully tested the system's ability to handle increasing loads in the cloud. Future work could include hosting the testing tool in the cloud and expanding performance analysis.
