What is performance testing?
It is a testing method that is used for testing the scalability, reliability, stability, response time, speed and resource usage of a program or software application under specific or varying workloads.
Following are the key benefits of using performance testing:
The speed factor: The speed of the application is determined by performance testing, which means when a user requests, there should be a quick response from the application end. Whether it is a web or mobile application, it must respond to user‘s request quickly in the least possible time, so that the respective resources can be provided at the earliest. This will in turn create an environment where a user will be really happy.
Resolve issues strategically: When the performance is being measured, it is sort of providing a buffer for developers before the product is going to be released. Once released then there will be a real issue to tackle and solve issues. Through the tactical application of performance testing, all the issues are completely resolved before the product’s release. Business sectors must properly monitor performance testing activities.
Measuring the performance of the software: The speed, stability and accuracy of software are thoroughly measured by conduction of performance testing. The crucial components of software are monitored under certain constraints, which will, in turn, give key information on how a software will take care of scalability. Through this, informed decisions can be made by developers on what specific changes need to be done and also measure the performance against internal standards.
Performance-related bottlenecks are eliminated: The application’s performance has a direct impact on the overall popularity and credibility of the organization. Quality is also a key component that needs to be considered. Users look for applications that have seamless performance and are of great quality and performance testing ensures that these two important factors are met. Applications that have optimal performance will only be able to sustain in the marketplace. This testing method ensures that performance-related bottlenecks are identified in a structured manner and thereby eliminated at the earliest.
