About industry
Performance testing is a crucial part of software development that ensures a system can handle expected usage. It simulates real-world demands on an application to assess its responsiveness, stability, and scalability. This helps identify areas for improvement before it reaches real users
Key Trends & Technologies
Cross Device & Cross Browser Compatibility
Ensuring applications perform well across a wide range of devices, browsers, and operating systems.
Focus on End-User Experience
Designing performance tests around real-world user scenarios to measure and optimize the actual user experience.
Continuous Performance Testing
Integrating performance testing into CI/CD pipelines for constant performance feedback.
Performance Testing for Micro services
Adapting performance testing approaches for the distributed nature of micro services-based architectures.
Benefits
Early detection of performance issues allows for faster fixes, ultimately getting your product into users' hands sooner.
Ensuring seamless performance under load translates directly customers and higher engagement.
Proactive performance optimization helps avoid costly fixes later on and eliminates costly downtime.
Confidence in handling large volumes of users or data, allowing for business growth.
Key Approaches
Gradually increases or decreases load to mimic real-world traffic patterns.
Discovers weaknesses in system infrastructure and helps prepare for unexpected high traffic scenarios.
Uncovers potential issues like memory leaks and resource exhaustion that may arise during long-term operation.
Ensures the application can effectively handle growth and maintains performance under increased load.
Identifies potential issues like slow response times or crashes during unexpected surges in user activity.
Ensures the application can handle expected data volumes efficiently and avoid performance issues related to data management.
Uncovers issues that might not be apparent during short-duration tests and helps ensure long-term system stability.
