Abstract	The performance of web-based and mobile apps needs optimization to manage unforeseen traffic spikes and maintain frictionless utilization in the current digital environment. Evaluating applications under different workload situations depends heavily on performance testing to determine their scalability and reaction times. Every performance breakdown on digital platforms results in substantial financial losses and harm to a company's reputation. This paper investigates the performance testing techniques and optimal practices that apply to web and mobile app applications by discussing sudden traffic surge management and scalability assurance. Load testing, alongside stress testing, spike testing, and endurance testing, forms the core part of this investigation regarding their practical applications. The article evaluates the utility of Apache JMeter with LoadRunner and Gatling testing tools for generating high-traffic simulations. The research investigates different strategies for improving traffic spike performance through the integration of auto-scaling services with load balancing and caching features and database optimization procedures. An extensive analysis of Amazon and Netflix demonstrates how these major companies handled high-traffic situations while implementing effective scalability practices. The study demonstrates that organizations must maintain performance assessments during development to achieve natural user interactions. Performance testing has evolved to fulfill the demands of contemporary applications through developing AI-driven testing methods, 5G technology, and cloud-based applications. The supplied recommendations serve developers and businesses in building high-quality performance testing frameworks that boost their applications' resistance to failures and scalability under heavy traffic conditions. Businesses that implement best practices in performance testing create proactive protection against system downtime while maximizing resource utilization for improved application efficiency, which leads to digital market dominance.
