The Performance testing is performed to know how fast the system is responding to a particular action. It is also called as non functional Testing. Performance testing is the way toward deciding the rate or viability of a PC, system, programming project or gadget. This procedure can include quantitative tests performed in a laboratory, for example, measuring the quantity of MIPS or the reaction time at which the framework capacities.
Performance Testing Types
Description
There are four different types of Testing. Each testing will perform different operation, such as:
Volume
Load
Soak
Stress
Conceptual
figure
Volume
If the application is running with huge amount of data is known as Volume Testing.
Load
If the developed application is running with minimum speed then it is known as Load Testing.
Soak
If the developed application is running with minimum speed such a period oftime is called Soak Testing.
Stress
Stress testing is a process of running the developed application to know the maximum speed of application is known as Stress testing.
Tools
Description
There are four different tools to test the performance of testing. They are
Load Runner
Jmeter
Web load
Open STA
Load Runner
Load runner measure the load and then check the performance of a system .
Jmeter
Jmeter is utilized to test the performance on dynamic and static resources.
Web load
Web load is utilized to test the performance on Scripting languages.
Open STA
Open STA is utilized to test test performance based on structure and content of a test case.
Goal
Description
The main aim of Performance Testing is to meet the performance criteria. It will find out which part is making the system to execute not properly and also it will analyze two systems, which will give better performance.
Characteristics
Description
The characteristics of Performance testing is Reliability, Scalability, Speed.
Reliability
Reliability system does not create any problem to the client is known as Reliability.
Scalability
Scalability describes how constantly the application is working.
Speed
Speed attribute describes how fast the application will acknowledge to the client requests.
Summary
Key Points
To deliver a quality software product to the customer.
The focus of performance testing is on responsiveness and scalability.
