Hi All,

how to do performance testing for transferring money from one bank to other bank...
i need to check whether the application is able to take 100 request in a second.

Kindly advise

Hi all,
Performance Testing:
Performance testing is basically done in order to determine the performance of a product.By performance testing we can also determine the efficiency of the software.Actually performance testing is done in order to know how the product is actually works on the market.
e.g. suppose we select a batsman for playing cricket in Indian Cricket team,when that batsman is batting in the match we see his performance i.e how he is playing in the match.


Thanks

Could you be more specific on what are the methodolozies I should follow while doing performance check in a project

Hi all,

Performance Testing is kind of testing process to verify the Non-functional features of the product under test. The system how well is preforming and it's performance is up to the mark or not can be verified in this process.
Load Testing ,Stress Testing comes under performance testing.Suppose a server is supposed to take 50 customers at a specific point of time and the page should get loaded for each individual by 5 secs. In this scenario, How the System is performing with different no. of customers and meeting all the requirements or not tested during performance testing.

Hi carolinaarosary,

First of all, you need to understand the concept behind performance testing. Performance testing is all about testing the performance of the software under a certain condition. This condition may be a normal condition (likely for the application) or may be a abnormal condition (unlikely for the application).

Load testing is one testing which is meant to test the first condition and stress testing is one which is meant to test the second condition. Both the testing process come under performance testing.

Now, for the scenario you have given, you need to test for both conditions also to complete your performance testing.

For load testing you put all 100 requests in a second into the application and put more than 100 requests in a second in case of stress testing and check how the system is behaving.

For the first case application should work as usual and for the second case application should not behave as usual but the application should not crash.

Thanks and regards
Sitam

Hi,

Performance testing is a non-functional testing type.
It checks how well the system performs, how efficient the system is.
Performance can be speed, accuracy,etc.
