Performance Testing

Performance TESTING

Performance testing includes multiple, distinct facets to fully exercise the software and hardware and identify any weaknesses, as well as benchmark where and when the issues arise. Different tests are used to verify the performance from varied angles.

Load testing is done to find the failure threshold of a system by incrementally adding concurrent users until the system’s response slows. This information gives us the optimal load boundaries and helps to identify where the bottlenecks are. Generally, this test will uncover buffer overflow issues, memory leaks, or load balance problems.

Volume testing focuses on data volume. Similar to the concurrent users’ threshold, the amount of data processed or transferred is slowly increased. This test helps to determine the amount of data your site can handle before it starts to display errors or stop responding at all.

With stress testing, the site’s breaking point is targeted. With the information gathered from load and volume testing, the site is sent more data and users than it can handle. This type of stress is abnormal for the system, but it’s important to identify how the software responds and more importantly, how it recovers.

Reliability testing shows how well your site can maintain a normal load. An ‘everyday’ load is determined, applied, and held for a long period of time. This test can help identify memory leaks or other issues that a dramatic load test may miss.

QA Mentor’s QA Performance and Capacity Planning service, as well as our QA Performance Engineering & Optimization can help you find your site’s breaking point so you can fix inefficiencies prior to release, add additional hardware, or be prepared for future scalability needs. We will be able to tell you exactly how many users your site can handle before it starts to respond more slowly. We can point you to exactly how many transactions you can process per day, hour, or even per second before the site begins to exhibit stress. We can then work with you to fix the performance issues and make sure your site is ready for production, and ready for the growth of your company.

How we work

Many performance testing companies hide the entire testing process. Our company is fully open, and we are ready to provide a complete report of the processes that we carry out in our work.

Running simple threads with massive amounts of data

Running hundreds of thousands of API requests, either all at once, or increasingly

Monitoring your servers during all tests

Generating reports with clear information about the system status

Move solution to the cloud for simple running

Using external machines for generation distributed high-load requests

Types of Performance Testing Services

Performance Testing is a type of software testing that can define how quickly and stable your application will work under the expected workload. Using performance tests, you can check your hardware resources usage and the quality of your application code is.

Load Testing allows you to measure how long the application will work under the high or increasing load.

Stress testingStress testing will measure how your application will work with a max amount of users coming in at the same time.

Scalability Testing is test the ability of the system to meet a growing need and it can be performed at a hardware, software or database level.

Typical process

Analyze the backend structure of the application

Familiarization with your process

Create a scope of API requests for testing

Run API calls in 100/1000/10000 threads at the same time

Save and analyze test run results

Collect performance metrics

The Need For Load and Performance Testing

The consistent and reliable performance of the business critical applications and the apps designed for facilitating convenience to the customers are the key to success. While designing and developing a software or an app, we often test it to ensure that whether it is delivering the required functionality or not, whether all the features which were required in the app are actually there or not, whether there is a performance issue or a bug in the application or not, but, to ensure the complete flawlessness, we only test an app generally, and not under the peak load.

Most of the apps which perform well under the normal load, sometimes crash due to higher load and thus, it’s important to indulge in load and performance testing services to find out that whether the app or software delivers the services efficiently even under the peak load or fails to perform as expected.

Load and Performance testing use efficient tools to evaluate the efficiency of an app under the different loads to find out up till which load it can bear and when the load starts affecting its performance.

Our Load and Performance Testing Services

Performance and load testing services are aimed at evaluating the performance of components in a particular system and under different loads. Our performance and load testing services evaluate the app or software on various aspects and we perform reliability testing, scalability testing, endurance testing, stress testing, load testing, capacity testing and load testing.

We offer our clients the complete solution for the performance testing, right from the detection and analysis to the corrective action for improving the performance. With our comprehensive infrastructure and knowledge base, we can help our clients save the development time, effort and cost.
