Currently, the application uses in-memory storage for test results. For production deployment, implement a proper database schema:
tests
CREATE TABLE tests (
id VARCHAR(50) PRIMARY KEY,
url VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
test_types JSON,
status VARCHAR(20),
created_at TIMESTAMP,
completed_at TIMESTAMP,
overall_score INTEGER
);test_results
CREATE TABLE test_results (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
test_id VARCHAR(50) REFERENCES tests(id),
category VARCHAR(50),
results JSON,
created_at TIMESTAMP
);reports
CREATE TABLE reports (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
test_id VARCHAR(50) REFERENCES tests(id),
format VARCHAR(10),
filename VARCHAR(200),
filepath VARCHAR(500),
created_at TIMESTAMP
);Create a .env file in the backend directory:

Horizontal Scaling
- Use load balancers (nginx, HAProxy)
- Implement session affinity or stateless design
- Use external storage for reports and temporary files
-
Vertical Scaling
- Monitor CPU and memory usage
- Optimize test execution concurrency
- Implement resource limits and quotas
-
Database Scaling
- Implement read replicas for reporting
- Use connection pooling
- Consider sharding for large datasets
This technical documentation provides comprehensive information for developers and system administrators working with the AI Testing Platform. Regular updates to this documentation should accompany any significant changes to the system architecture or implementation.
