What is Performance Testing?
11 April, 2019
Let’s talk about performance testing today.🤓 Performance testing is done to ensure that the application under test can perform well under load. When running unit/functional/integration tests, you ensure that the features are working correctly for one user. What happens when you have thousands of users? To figure that out, you do performance testing. 🌼 Generally performance testing focuses on 3 parts: 1️⃣Speed/Response times - does my application respond within a reasonable amount of time when it’s under load? 2️⃣Scalability - what is the maximum amount of users that my application can handle? 3️⃣Stability - can my application sustain a minimum workload over a long period of time? 🌼 I’ll go through the different types of performance testing in the next post! 🌼
