Performance testing in different types

Performance testing is defined in various types.

1. Load Testing: It is conducted to verify whether the application can meet expected SLAs in terms of Response times, Throughput and Resource utilization e.t.c under different loads of Vusers.

2. Stress Testing : This performance testing is done to identify the application maximum handling capacity of users, by determining the breakpoint.

3. Spike Testing : It is a performance test conducted to validate performance Characteristics when subjected to load volumes repeatedly increase beyond anticipated production operations for short periods of time.

4. Endurance/Soak Testing: It is conducted to verify application memory leaks and code inefficiencies. This test is performed for long durations like 5 hours, 10 hours, 1 day…

5. Volume Testing: These tests are more appropriate for messaging, Batch processing type situations. Here we concentrate more about throughput instead Response time.
