What is Performance Testing?
Performance testing and types of performance testing such as Load Testing, Volume Testing, Stress Testing and Spike Testing come under Non-functional Testing
In current market performance and responsiveness of applications play an important role. We conduct performance testing to address the bottlenecks of the system and to fine tune the system by finding the root cause of performance issues.
Performance Testing:
Performance testing determines or validates the speed, scalability, and/or stability characteristics of the system or application under test. Performance is concerned with achieving response times, throughput, and resource-utilization levels that meet the performance objectives for the software or product.
Load Testing:
Load Testing is to verify that the system/application can handle the expected number of transactions and to verify the system/application behavior under both normal and peak load conditions (no. of users and concurrent load).
Volume Testing:
Volume Testing is to verify that the system/application can handle a large amount of data. This testing focuses on Data Base.
Stress Testing:
Stress Testing is to verify the behavior of the system once the load increases more than the system’s design expectations. This testing addresses which components fail first when we stress the system by applying the load beyond the design expectations. So that we can design more robust system.
Spike Testing:
Spike Testing is to determine the behavior of the system under sudden increase of load (a large number of users) on the system.
