Types of Performance Testing
It is a type of non-functional testing. It is also known as Soak testing. Endurance testing involves testing a system with a significant load extended over a significant period of time, to discover how the system behaves under sustained use.
What is Performance Testing? Performance testing is the general name for tests that check how the system behaves and performs. Performance testing examines responsiveness, stability, scalability, reliability, speed and resource usage of your software and infrastructure.
Scalability testing is a kind of performance testing, where the focus remains on application’s behaviour while testing it under excessive load. The main aim of performing scalability testing is to identify the point where the application stops adapting or responding to the changes and the reasons behind it.
Spike testing is a type of load test. The object of this type of performance test is to verify a system's stability during bursts of concurrent user and or system activity to varying degrees of load over varying time periods.
Performance testing is the general name for tests that check how the system behaves and performs. Performance testing examines responsiveness, stability, scalability, reliability, speed and resource usage of your software and infrastructure.
Volume testing is a non-functional Performance Testing, where the software is subjected to a huge volume of data. It is also referred as flood testing. Volume testing is done to analyze the system performance by increasing the volume of data in the database.
