Performance Testing

Performance testing is a type of software testing, which is to verify the non-functional features of the software like speed & stability of the system. The goal of this testing is to identify the performance of the system.

Some types of the performance testing are,

1. Load Testing
2. Stress Testing
3. Volume Testing

Load Testing:

Load testing is a type of performance testing, where it is to test the application to identify its performance on normal & peak usage. The goal is to identify the bottlenecks in the system by applying estimated load to the system.

Stress Testing:

Stress testing is applying the load gradually to the system, at some point the system will break with non responsive state for the request’s. This state is considered as the breaking point.

Volume Testing:

Volume testing is storing a large volume of data in the data base, to identify the overall performance of the system behavior. The goal is to verify the system performance with different volume of data.
