Prolifics Testing helps universities ensure their digital platforms perform flawlessly during critical periods like Clearing, Enrolment, and Results Release, keeping students connected and satisfied.
What We Offer
Performance Testing for Critical Academic Systems
We specialise in ensuring the stability and efficiency of vital university systems during peak demand:
- Student Information Systems (SIS): Platforms like Tribal SITS, Ellucian Banner, TechnologyOne, Unit 4, SAP Student Lifecycle, and Oracle EBS.
- Learning Management Systems (LMS): eLearning platforms such as Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas are vital, especially during exams and assignment submissions.
- Telephony Systems: Ensuring uninterrupted call handling during high-pressure periods, especially Clearing. We combine application performance tests with telephony based tests with real calls.
- Accommodation Portals: Room and lodging booking systems need to be tested to ensure they are able to support peak activity.
Customised Testing Strategies
Our tailored performance testing strategies simulate peak loads to uncover bottlenecks and ensure systems remain responsive under pressure. From Clearing to Results Release, we prepare your platforms for the most critical periods of the academic year.
Accessibility and Inclusivity
Inclusive digital platforms are essential for creating equitable access to university services. Our accessibility testing ensures compliance with WCAG standards, enabling universities to deliver welcoming and accessible experiences for all students, including those with disabilities.

Case Study: Performance Testing in Action
When a UK university experienced issues with their Clearing platform crashing during peak times, we conducted thorough load and performance testing to identify and address weaknesses. Our solution ensured their system could handle over 5,000 concurrent users, eliminating downtime and improving the student experience.
