Companies are spending substantially to build next-generation products/platforms using new tools and technologies. However, there is no guarantee for speed, stability, and scalability. Any disruption or poor performance of services can affect brand image, revenue, and customer trustworthiness.

Considering that speed-to-market is vital to success these days, the organizations requires the best practices, tools, and expertise for responsive delivery and market-leading quality. This is where optimum system performance and distinctive testing techniques help the organizations to lead the curve.

REM Cyber Compliance Solutions provides Performance Test Services based on the comprehensive understanding of various aspects of application development.

Performance Testing is done to ensure that software application performs optimally when there will be an increased load on the server. The system is tested under a mix of load conditions and application behavior is studied under these varying load patterns.

Goals

•  Improve user experience on websites and web applications
•  Gather metrics useful for tuning the system
•  Increase revenue generated from websites
•  Provide reports to Business Stakeholders regarding actual performance versus benchmarks
•  Identify bottlenecks related to database, network, hardware configuration
•  Evaluate if the site can handle an anticipated increase in user traffic
•  Recommend necessary updates that a system might need to perform optimally 

Approach

Below is the approach we follow while using Performance Test Services:

1. Non- Functional Requirement Analysis during which the performance requirements of the application are gathered.

2. Performance Test Strategy where controlling parameters are defined.

3. Performance Test Design is created to define the Performance Test Cases and related data.

4. Performance Test Execution is performed to execute the Performance Tests and report the results back.

5. Performance Test Result Analysis is performed to analyze the Performance Test Results.

6. Benchmarks and Recommendations where we provide recommendations for performance improvements.

Types of Performance Tests

•  Load Tests: Application’s ability to perform under a specified user load
•  Stress Tests: Performance under more than expected user load is tested
•  Endurance Tests: Application behavior upon prolonged exposure to user load is tested
•  Volume Tests: Application behavior under large number of transactions on the database is tested
•  Scalability Tests: Application’s ability to “Scale Up” to support an increase in users/transactions is tested
