I'm glad heathcare.gov is getting better. I would assume however the most important part of tests for open enrollment are the writes to user management where reads and writes simultaneously are exercised against datastores. Looks like users were manually created not sure if they included updates in the tests. I'm wondering if the tests were just auth based? That would make sense why they could easily scale horizontally since auth is a lot of times just limited to cpu capacity.
