What is Performance Testing?

In Performance testing we are checking we are concentrating on speed in processing of  a software by checking below factors:

Ø  Execution of as s/w under customer expected configuration and customer expected load to calculate speed in processing, is called as Load Testing. Here load means number of concurrent users using our s/w.

Ø  Execution of our s/w under customer expected configuration and more than customer expected load to estimate reliability is called as Stress Testing.

Ø  Execution of our s/w under customer expected configuration and sudden increments of load to estimate reliability is called as Spike Testing.

Ø  Execution of our s/w under customer expected configuration and continuous load long time to estimate durability is called as Endurance/Durability/ Longuity Testing.
