Insure Against Downtime With Performance Testing

Software performance testing gives confidence that your product will be ready for various traffic scenarios.

There is a list of activities that can fall under this category. You may have heard of mobile performance testing, web page performance testing, system performance testing, browser load testing, API load testing, UI load testing, and more.

The thing is, every product requires performance testing at some stage. Intense traffic that follows a marketing campaign, a holiday season, and other triggers can reveal vulnerabilities when it is too late.

There are several conditions that allow a QA team to run performance testing:

  1. The product is stable.
  2. You don’t plan to roll out new features in the near future.
  3. There is a dedicated test environment, as it is better not to interfere with live functionality on production.

Types of Performance Testing to Cover Your Needs

Some find it confusing to tell the difference between load and performance testing. The latter has a broader meaning. It is an umbrella term that covers several narrowly specialized activities.

Spike Testing. One more performance scenario is a sudden increase in traffic. The team runs spike tests to check software reaction to short sudden large user bursts with at least twice higher traffic.

icon

Load Testing. Before software goes live, it is essential to verify its ability to handle an anticipated number of users. Load tests help to learn how a product will behave under average real-world conditions.

Endurance Testing. Endurance tests allow determining how long software can work under high traffic conditions without losing its productivity. The data gathered at this stage helps to prevent downtime.

Stress Testing. A system behaves differently under pressure, when traffic surpasses the expected. Running a website at 100% of a baseline load and higher allows us to identify the breaking points.

Scalability Testing. It is crucial for a system to scale up correctly. We check if nodes connect on time and servers can maintain high loading speed as the number of simultaneous users increases.
