Performance Tests Flashcards
What is the bottleneck?
Over-crowding or a congestion point of a software process, hardware product, or a computer network that slows down the whole workflow. If this point is exceeded, the app will crash
When does the crashing point occur?
After the bottleneck is exceeded
What does load testing involve?
We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are entering large amounts of data all at the same time
Which type of performance type helps you understand how the app behaves under an expected load?
Load test
What does stress testing involve?
We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing one specific action all at the same time
What does scalability testing involve?
We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing one specific scenario all at the same time
What does soak/endurance testing involve?
We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing load, stress, and scalability test within a specific timeframe
We’re trying to gauge the endurance of the app, how much it can handle for a long period of time
What does volume testing involve?
We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are launching the app all at the same time.
What kind of tools do we use to execute these performance tests?
- J-meter
- Blaze meter
- HP Load Runner
