Performance Testing

The document discusses performance testing which evaluates an application's performance under expected or higher loads. It explains why performance testing is needed before launch to test for speed, scalability, and stability under various loads. The document also describes two types of performance testing: load testing which simulates real-world loads, and stress testing which determines effectiveness under unfavorable conditions.

Performance Testing

o Software performance testing is a type of non-functional testing in which the


performance of the application is evaluated under expected or higher load.
o Performance testing is carried out to measure different performance attributes
of the system like - response time (speed), reliability, resource usage,
scalability, Stability under variety of load conditions etc.

Why do we need Performance Testing?


o Before launching the final software product in the market, the product should
be tested against the speed, scalability and stability under variety of load
conditions.
o If the product goes live without doing performance testing, itmay cause issues
like slow processing and poor usability which likely to gain a bad reputation
and it affects the expected sales goal directly.

Types of Performance Testing


Load Testing

o Load testing is a type of performance testing that simulates a real-world load


on any software, application, or website.
o It helps to determine how the system behaves under both normal and at peak
conditions.
o Load testing can be performed under controlled lab conditions to compare
the capabilities of different systems or to accurately measure the capabilities
of a single system.

Stress Testing

o Stress testing is also a type of performance testing which helps to determine


the ability of a computer, network, program or device to maintain a certain
level of effectiveness under unfavourable conditions.
o Stress testing is also known as Fatigue testing.
