What is Performance testing?

Performance testing is a software testing measure that determines how the system /application performs in terms of speed, responsiveness, scalability, stability, and resource usage. This testing will help you what you need to improve before making your product live.

Here are some of the performance testing that can be done on the application

• Load Testing: This is Non-functional testing, It validates how the system behaves during low and high loads, like transferring huge files from one platform to another or make use of thousands of users at a time a test how it behaves.

 

• Volume Testing: This is Non-functional testing refers to validate the performance of the application with the huge volume of data size.

 

• Stress Testing: This is Non-functional testing; Stress testing will be done to ensure software/ application should work in extremely heavy load conditions without affecting the performance.

 

• Soak testing: The goal of this testing is to validate memory leaks.

 

• Scalability testing: This type of testing validates whether the application handles increased workloads or not.

Common problems occur while doing performance testing

​

• ​Speed Issues - Slow responses and long load timing.
• Dataflow interruptions due to less workload capacity.
• Software configuration issues.
• Insufficient hardware resources .

Some common mistakes that will make during the performance testing as follows:

• Not giving enough time for application testing.
• Not involving developers during the performance testing.
• Not using a quality assurance system similar to the production system.
• There is no proper troubleshooting plan followed.
