Job description

• Define GIS performance testing strategy covering web, desktop, and servicelevel workloads (ArcGIS Server, Utility Network, Feature Services).


• Identify performancecritical GIS workflows (pan/zoom, tracing, edits, large spatial queries, batch jobs).


• Create realistic GIS workload models based on editor, viewer, integration, and batch processing usage patterns.


• Design test scenarios for:

Map rendering and symbology scaling

Feature service queries (attribute + spatial)

Utility Network traces and validations

Web GIS Load Test scenarios

• Concurrent editing and versioned data access


• Load and Stress Simulation: Execute load, endurance, and stress tests to determine how GIS (like ArcGIS Server) perform under high user traffic, specifically testing 2D/3D map rendering and data querying.


• Bottleneck Analysis: Monitor system KPIssuch as CPU utilization, memory, response times, and throughputto identify bottlenecks related to spatial analysis or database queries.


• Result Reporting: Create detailed performance analysis reports that highlight the system's performance, identifying areas for improvement or potential downtime.


• Collaborate with Functional Analysts to map business flows into performance test cases.


• Prior experience in GIS Testing assignments will be an advantage.


• Collaboration & Optimization: Work with GIS developers and architects to suggest infrastructure changes, database tuning, or code optimizations to resolve issues.


• Perform RCA on performance issues and recommend improvement opportunities.

Essential Qualifications:

• Minimum of 4 years working experience with Esri ArcGIS Software (Enterprise, Desktop, Server, ArcGIS Pro, Online)


• Understanding of ArcGIS Enterprise Architecture- ArcGIS Server, Portal, data Store etc.
