Performance testing evaluates how a system performs under various conditions, focusing on speed, responsiveness, stability, and scalability. The goal is to ensure that the application meets performance expectations, handles load efficiently, and delivers a smooth user experience, even under stress.
Load testing measures how an application performs under expected user load, while stress testing pushes the system beyond its limits to find its breaking point. Both are essential for understanding different aspects of system performance.
Performance testing should be performed throughout the development lifecycle, especially before major releases or changes. Regular testing helps identify and resolve performance issues early.
Yes, performance testing can be automated using various tools and scripts to simulate different load scenarios and gather performance metrics efficiently.
A performance test report should include test objectives, methodology, scenarios, results, identified issues, and recommendations for optimization.
Performance issues are documented, analyzed, and reported. We work closely with the development team to address the issues, optimize performance, and re-test to ensure the improvements are effective.
No, performance testing applies to all types of applications, including web, mobile, desktop, and network applications. It ensures that all types of systems perform optimally under various conditions.
Success is measured by how well the application meets predefined performance criteria, including response times, throughput, stability, and scalability under different load conditions.
