What are the best load testing tools for simulating traffic load to a web site? There are many criteria allowing to differentiate load testing tools and it really depends on your needs. End-to-End performance measurement. This is one of the…
Unintentional infinite loops An infinite loop or unproductive loop happens in computer programs when loop never ends. This happens either due to the loop having no terminating condition, having one that can never be met, or one that causes the…
Performance Testing, planned considering the capacity of the production environment, ideally should be performed well before the Go-Live date. It needs to be carried out in production like environment to identify maximum performance issues in testing phase. But maintaining a…
Still remember the day when managers from my consulting firm decided to move the operations from expensive licensed tool to less costly solutions providing same features. We a bunch of three performance testers were then handed over the responsibility of…
I have worked with many mobile app developers and I have often come across scenarios wherein the clear difference between testing an app and monitoring an app is not clear to the developers. I am hence making an attempt to…
Percentiles: In a set of observations, the value, below which a given percentage of observations fall, is called the percentile. Eg., 90th percentile is the value below which 90 % observations amongst the dataset can be found. It is an essential…
Performance testing practitioners always aspire to achieve a production like scenario and once that is achieve a load that is steady enough during the execution of the test. Though steady load is not what is observed in production, however from…
In case of waterfall or other traditional approaches, we observed that each phase of the development process was allocated a time line and that phase was carried out based on the schedule laid much earlier in the project. Testing (and…
