Web Performance Testing is executed to provide accurate information on the readiness of an application through testing the web site and monitoring the server side application.

For determining these attributes, we have different types of performance testing techniques.

• Load testing.

Load testing is a type of testing which involves evaluating the performance of the system under expected workload

• Stress testing

Web Stress Testing All of Your Web & Mobile Applications. Stress testing refers to tests that determine the software robustness by testing beyond the limits of normal conditions.

• Endurance testing

Endurance Testing is defined as a software testing type, where a system is tested with a load extended over a significant amount of time, to analyse the behaviour of the system under sustained use. ... "Endurance means capacity so in other words, you can term Endurance Testing as Capacity Testing

• Spike testing

Spike testing is a type of load test. The object of this type of performance test is to verify a system's stability during bursts of concurrent user and or system activity to varying degrees of load over varying time periods

• Volume testing

Volume testing is defined as a type of Software Testing, where the software is subjected to a huge volume of data. It is also referred to as flood testing. Volume testing is done to analyze the system performance by increasing the volume of data in the database.

 

Stress testing is an essential and beneficial process that provides otherwise unattainable insight into the performance of your web and mobile applications under extreme load. Identifying the potential breaking points in your application will allow you to correct them before they become expensive issues in production

Load testing can monitor the system's response times for each of the transactions during a set period of time. Load testing can also raise attention to any problems in the application software and fix these bottlenecks before they become more problematic.

Load testing is performed to determine a system's behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions. It helps to identify the maximum operating capacity of an application as well as any bottlenecks and determine which element is causing degradation.

Performance testing will determine whether their software meets speed, scalability and stability requirements under expected workloads. Applications sent to market with poor performance metrics due to nonexistent or poor performance testing are likely to gain a bad reputation and fail to meet expected sales goals

 

This engine should test web/applications to achieve these results:

• To find how many concurrent users can use the software/web application.
• To find how many concurrent can cause a failure in service
• To find bottlenecks of destination software architecture
• To find hardware and network and infrastructure requirements
• …
