🔍 What is Performance Testing?
Performance Testing is a critical software testing process that evaluates an application’s speed, stability, scalability, and resource usage under various workloads. The goal is to detect and eliminate performance bottlenecks before deployment.
⚡ Why is it Important?
Without proper performance testing, software may suffer from:
✅ Slow response times ⏳
✅ Poor scalability 📉
✅ System crashes under heavy load 💥
📊 Key Performance Testing Types:
🔹 Load Testing – Measures performance under expected user load.
🔹 Stress Testing – Tests system behavior under extreme conditions.
🔹 Endurance Testing – Ensures stability over prolonged usage.
🔹 Spike Testing – Assesses the system’s reaction to sudden traffic surges.
🔹 Volume Testing – Examines system performance with large datasets.
🔹 Scalability Testing – Determines the system’s ability to handle increased user demand.
📈 Performance Metrics to Monitor:
✅ Response Time ⏱️
✅ Throughput 📡
✅ CPU & Memory Usage 🖥️
✅ Network Bandwidth 🌐
🔄 Testing Process:
1️⃣ Identify the testing environment 🏗️
2️⃣ Define performance goals 🎯
3️⃣ Plan and design test scenarios 📝
4️⃣ Configure the test environment ⚙️
5️⃣ Execute tests and monitor performance 📊
6️⃣ Analyze results and optimize 🚀
💡 Poor performance can lead to revenue loss! Major tech companies have lost millions due to system downtimes. Make sure your application is tested for high performance!
