What is performance testing?
Performance testing is a non-functional testing technique used in software testing. It determines an application's stability, speed, scalability, and responsiveness under a particular workload.
It tests the quality of the software and removes performance bottlenecks to make the application ready to deploy in the market.
What are the different types of performance testing?
There are seven types of performance testing, such as:
Load testing
Load testing is used to identify bottlenecks and find out the maximum number of users or transactions the system can handle.
Stress testing
Stress testing is just like load testing, which tests the system’s ability to handle a high load above normal usage levels. It identifies the breaking point of the system and the issues likely to happen under heavy load conditions.
Spike testing
Spike testing measures the behavior of a software application when it receives extreme variations in traffic and determines whether it will be able to sustain the workload.
Soak testing
Soak testing works to find out the system parameters under the continuous expected load. It identifies the parameters like memory utilization used to check memory leaks or other performance issues.
Endurance testing
Endurance testing is one of the types of soak testing, but it ensures that the software can handle the constant load over a long period of time.
Scalability testing
With scalability testing, you can test whether the app can scale up effectively in the event of user overload. It enables you to plan the capacity addition to an application for the future.
Volume testing
The goal of volume testing is to find out the performance of the application in different database volumes. The performance of an application is checked by populating different volumes of data into the database.
Benefits of using performance testing
There are several benefits of using performance testing for your software, such as:
Improved user experience
Performance testing identifies bottlenecks, fixes issues, and improves app performance, resulting in a better user experience.
Cost saving
Instead of spending money on emergency repairs, lost revenue due to downtime, or potential legal fees and fines from data breaches, you can use performance testing that reduces the risk of application failure and downtime.
Better scalability
With performance testing, you can check how well your application can handle the increasing number of users, transactions, and data volumes. It becomes helpful for businesses to plan and scale easily and avoid unexpected failures.
Avoids lag
With the load and stress testing feature of performance testing, your application is tested to withhold the increasing amount of stress and load.
User accommodation
With the stress testing feature, it checks the scalability of your application, and with load testing, it checks the highest load the app can take efficiently.
