This blog post sheds light on different types and methods of performance testing.
E N D
Performance testing is the process of testing the software application for the non-functional aspects like response time, speed, reliability, and scalability under different workloads. The main purpose of performance testing is to identify the performance bottlenecks of software applications and eliminate them for better usage. The performance testing is to test the speed, scalability, and stability. The major objective of performance testing is to provide the information to the stakeholders about the application's reliability, scalability, response time, throughput time, and other non-functional aspects. If the performance testing is not performed then there will always be a possibility of having issues such as slow response time, weak throughput, weak connection time, etc. Performance testing is important for software applications with long duration of usage and with large deviations in workloads. https://erpsolutions.oodles.io/developer-blogs/An-Introduction-To-Performance-Testing/
Types of Performance Testing Load Testing :- It is used to test the software application performance under large user loads. It ensures that software applications will work when thousands and millions of users are working on software applications simultaneously. Stress Testing :- Stress testing is used to identify the application usage when an extreme workload is applied to the software application. The objective of software applications is to identify the breaking point of the application. Endurance Testing :- This is used to test the software application and how it will perform under a long duration of usage. Spike Testing :- Spike testing is used to test the application with sudden increases and decreases in user loads. Volume Testing :- Under Volume Testing large no. of data is populated in the database and the overall system functionality is monitored. The objective of volume testing is to determine how the software handles large volumes of data. Scalability Testing :- It is used to test the scalability of software applications i.e. to determine whether the application can be upgraded in the future for usage by more no. of users.
