Test Your Performance to Prevent Downtime

Performance testing ensures your product will be ready for a variety of traffic scenarios.

This category includes a number of activities. Among the many types of performance testing, you may have heard of mobile performance testing, web page performance testing, system performance testing, browser load testing, API load testing, and user interface testing.

Every product has to undergo performance testing at some point. The spike in traffic that follows a marketing campaign, the holiday season, and other triggers can reveal vulnerabilities too late.

A QA team can perform performance testing under several conditions:

The product is stable.
You don’t plan to roll out new features in the near future.
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

It can be confusing to tell the difference between load and performance testing. Performance testing encompasses a broader range of testing. Performance testing refers to a number of narrowly specialized activities.

Spike Testing. A sudden increase in traffic is another performance scenario. In spike tests, the team checks software reactivity to short bursts of large traffic with at least twice the number of users.

Load Testing. Verifying the software's ability to handle an anticipated number of users before it goes live is imperative. In order to learn how a product will behave under real-world conditions, load tests are conducted.

Endurance Testing. An endurance test determines how long software can work under high traffic conditions without becoming unproductive. Data collected at this stage helps avoid downtime.

Stress Testing. When traffic exceeds expectations, systems behave differently under pressure. By running a website at 100 percent of its baseline load and higher, we can identify the breaking points.

Scalability Testing. Scaling up a system correctly is crucial. As the number of simultaneous users increases, we check if nodes are connected on time and servers can maintain high loading speeds.
