Overview

This guide explains how to perform performance testing for Smart Accounts Kit integration.

Performance Metrics

Key Metrics

1. Smart Account Creation Time

   • Target: < 5 seconds
   • Measurement: Time from request to account creation

2. Delegation Request Time

   • Target: < 10 seconds
   • Measurement: Time from request to approval

3. User Operation Batch Time

   • Target: < 15 seconds
   • Measurement: Time from batch creation to execution

4. Gas Usage

   • Target: Optimize for batch operations
   • Measurement: Gas per operation

---

Testing Tools

1. Performance Test Script

File: scripts/performance-test.sh

Usage:

./scripts/performance-test.sh

Tests:

• Smart account creation performance
• Delegation performance
• Batch operations performance

2. Load Testing

Tools:

• Apache Bench (ab)
• wrk
• k6
• Artillery

Example:

# Load test smart account creation
ab -n 100 -c 10 https://api.d-bis.org/smart-accounts/create

3. Gas Benchmarking

Tool: Foundry gas reporting

Usage:

forge test --match-path test/smart-accounts/** --gas-report

---

Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: Smart Account Creation

Test: Create 100 smart accounts sequentially

Metrics:

• Total time
• Average time per account
• Peak time
• Success rate

Expected Results:

• Average: < 5 seconds
• Peak: < 10 seconds
• Success rate: > 99%

Scenario 2: Delegation Requests

Test: Request 50 delegations

Metrics:

• Total time
• Average time per delegation
• Success rate

Expected Results:

• Average: < 10 seconds
• Success rate: > 95%

Scenario 3: Batch Operations

Test: Execute 100 batch operations

Metrics:

• Total time
• Average time per batch
• Gas savings vs individual operations

Expected Results:

• Average: < 15 seconds
• Gas savings: > 30%

---

Performance Optimization

1. Gas Optimization

• Use batch operations
• Optimize storage patterns
• Minimize external calls
• Use events instead of storage where possible

2. Network Optimization

• Use efficient RPC endpoints
• Implement connection pooling
• Cache frequently accessed data
• Use batch RPC calls

3. Caching

• Cache smart account addresses
• Cache delegation status
• Cache permission status
• Invalidate on updates

---

Monitoring Performance

Real-time Metrics

// Track account creation time
const startTime = Date.now();
const account = await kit.createAccount({ owner: userAddress });
const duration = Date.now() - startTime;

// Log to analytics
analytics.track('account_created', {
  duration,
  gasUsed: receipt.gasUsed,
});

Performance Dashboard

Configure Grafana dashboard with:

• Account creation rate
• Average creation time
• Delegation success rate
• Gas usage trends
• Error rates

---

Benchmarking

Baseline Metrics

Before optimization:

• Account creation: ~10 seconds
• Delegation: ~15 seconds
• Batch operations: ~20 seconds

Target Metrics

After optimization:

• Account creation: < 5 seconds
• Delegation: < 10 seconds
• Batch operations: < 15 seconds

---

Troubleshooting Performance Issues

Issue: Slow Account Creation

Causes:

• Network latency
• RPC endpoint issues
• Gas price too low

Solutions:

• Use faster RPC endpoint
• Increase gas price
• Implement retry logic

Issue: High Gas Usage

Causes:

• Inefficient contract code
• Too many operations
• No batching

Solutions:

• Optimize contract code
• Use batch operations
• Cache results
