A stress-testing platform
Cyrex Swaem is a cloud-based load testing platform, designed to simulate up to a million concurrent users, that llows businesses to rigorously stress-test their systems under real-world traffic conditions.
Designing a testing tool
Cyrex Swarm began as an in-house solution for load testing Cyrex’s client projects, but it quickly evolved into a standalone product. However, it needed significant improvements, particularly in terms of user experience and interface design. That’s when I joined the Cyrex Swarm product team, responsible to design and develop the product’s first major revamp.
On the client side of Cyrex Swarm, we designed the platform to offer a seamless flow for users to quickly execute load tests on pre-configured environments. The experience emphasizes clarity and efficiency, featuring real-time test visualizations, highlighted key metrics, intuitive data tables, and clearly defined primary actions—all aimed at reducing friction and helping users focus on meaningful insights.
For the admin side, used by Cyrex’s internal team, we focused on enhancing usability by creating a system that prioritizes fast navigation and easy management of projects, clients, and test environments. The goal was to minimize cognitive load and enable admins to manage complex configurations with confidence and speed.
