Performance testing

Performance testing is designed to test the run-time performance of software within the context of an integrated system.
It occurs throughout all steps in the testing process.
It coupled with stress testing & coupled with both hardware and software testing.
It is conducted prior to implementation to determine how long it takes to receive a response to a inquiry, make a backup copy of file, or send a transmission& receive a response.

  2. The key to determining the objectives of a performance-testing effort is to identify change, potential risks, and opportunities for improvement. One way to determine and record performance-testing objectives is simply to ask each member of the project team what value you can add or risk you can mitigate for him or her while you are conducting performance testing at a particular point in the project, or immediately following the accomplishment of a particular milestone. Such objectives might include providing data on resource utilization under load, generating specific loads to assist with tuning an application server, or providing a report of the number of objects requested by each Web page.
