Performance Testing Overview

Performance testing is a type of software testing that evaluates how a system performs under

various conditions. It ensures applications are responsive, stable, and scalable under expected or

peak workloads.

Types of Performance Testing:


- Load Testing - Checks how the system handles expected user traffic.

- Stress Testing - Pushes the system beyond normal limits.

- Spike Testing - Observes reaction to sudden increases or decreases in load.

- Endurance (Soak) Testing - Tests performance over a long duration.

- Scalability Testing - Tests the ability to scale up with added resources.

Example: E-commerce Website Testing


- Load Test: Simulate 5,000 users browsing and purchasing simultaneously.

- Stress Test: Increase users to 20,000 to find breaking point.

- Spike Test: Sudden jump from 1,000 to 10,000 users in 10 seconds.

- Endurance Test: 2,000 users continuously for 24 hours to detect memory leaks.

- Scalability Test: Add servers and test performance improvement.
