performance testing

Performance testing is the process of determining the speed or effectiveness of a computer, network, software program or device that is performed, from one perspective, to determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under a particular workload.

Performance testing can use tools to measure what parts of a device or software contribute most to the poor performance or to establish throughout levels for maintained acceptable response time.

Purposes:
  • demonstrate the systems meets performance criteria
  • compare two systems to find which performs better
  • measure what parts of the system or workload cause the system to perform badly.
  • performance defect is detected, the higher the cost of remediation.
