Performance Testing - A Working Definition
by EDITOR on 15/12/06 at 1:55 pm
The objective of performance test is to validate the back-end architecture, hardware and applications scalability:
- Determine the performance, stability and scalability of an application under various load conditions.
- Determine which configuration sizing provides the best performance level.
Determine if the current architecture can support the application at peak user levels. - Prove application is stable enough to go into production (Acceptance).
Determine if the new version of the software adversely had an impact on response time. - Determine at what point does degradation performance occur (Capacity Planning).
- Identify application and infrastructure bottlenecks.
- Evaluate product and/or hardware to determine if it can handle projected load volumes.
Conditions
- Passed assembly testing
- Responsible Team
