Types of Performance Tests:
Performance Test
The primary objective is to provide a reasonable confidence that application performance goals will be met in the live operation. Performance test is a technical investigation done to determine the following characteristics of the product under test:
Responsiveness
Throughput
Speed
Scalability
Stability
Load Test: it is designed to determine application behavior under expected load conditions. This testing type will verify whether the application meets the desired performance objectives which is specified in SLA.
Stress Test/Spike Test: It is designed to determine how heavy a load the Web application can handle. The time between the transactions is minimized in order to intensify the load on the application. Think time is ignored. Stress test can determine the maximum numbers of request a Web application can handle. Stress test is a technical investigation to reveal application properties that surface only under high load conditions. Stress tests enables to identify application’s weak points and shows application behavior under extreme load conditions
