Testing for performance efficiency checklist
Before we publish our application, we need to assess and validate whether it can manage the expected usage. Besides that, the application should be configured to manage unexpected load using scaling principles. Using the tests, we will be able to capture issues and resolve them before we move the application to production.
With the help of performance testing, we can ensure our applications are efficient, responsive, and scalable and the performance of the application meets the business needs. The diagnostic data that we collect as part of the tests can be used to confirm whether our application can withstand the load, and this is essential to identify bottlenecks. As you know, bottlenecks happen when there is a disruption in the data flow due to insufficient capacity to oversee the load.
We have performance testing, load testing, and stress testing. We can consider performance testing as a superset of load and stress testing. The...
