How to stress-test and monitor my contract?

[dckc]

I understand stress testing is important before launch. Any suggestions about how to go about it?

Monitoring: separate discussion

If you have a partnership arrangement with Agoric, feel free to inquire about access to our monitoring facilities via your contacts at Agoric.

Baseline test

Conduct a test with regular transaction at rate of, for example 1 to 2 transactions per minute. This test should run for some duration... perhaps 20 minuts to 1 hour.

After completing the first test, you allow for cool down period to allow the system to stabilize; perhaps 1 hour.

Moderate load

Next, you can increase the load slightly. Perhaps 4 to 5 transactions per minute, also running for some duration.
Following the moderate load test, you'll implement another cool down period.

Increased load

Finally, you can conduct a test with a higher load; perhaps 10 transactions per minute, continuing for 1 hour.

These steps will help us understand the chain's behavior under varying loads and provide valuable insights into its performance and scalability.
