Performance Testing

 

Your website’s performance is only as reliable as the servers behind it. A site that goes down due to too much traffic will quickly become a site that gets no traffic at all.

 

 

Reliability is the key to customer loyalty and your competition knows this. That is why it is imperative that your servers be tested for stability, scalability and performance using the latest workload simulations. Downtime is costly and if your site can’t handle the traffic, your customers will click to one that can. Our trained personnel use the latest in sophisticated performance testing tools that can simulate thousands of virtual users hitting your servers at once. Code Q uses the resulting data to evaluate the performance of your site under normal load (performance testing), anticipated future load (scalability testing), highly abnormal peak load (stress testing), and under uninterrupted, sustained load (endurance testing).

 

 

As load testing proceeds, you will receive regular reports detailing how your servers are responding to the imposed load. At the same time, our experts will make recommendations to you for ways and methods to improve your site’s performance before going live.

 

LOAD VS. PERFORMANCE TESTING

What We Offer

 

 

Make no mistake. Knowing, not predicting how your servers are going to respond to the public’s demand is imperative if you are going to be successful. Hire Code Q and we will provide you with all the reassurance you need to launch with confidence.

 

 

Cloud computing and Web Services are driving the need for testers to understand and deploy load performance testing programs. Many companies are concerned with "acceptable" user experience, and they should be -- it will fundamentally drive application user adoption.

 

 

Predicting performance capability is a daunting and tricky task to undertake for any development organization. Code Q service teams will help determine the scope, complexity and size of the load, as well as the load architecture used for test execution. We will work closely with your team to develop accurate usage scenarios. Our load tests closely simulate the behavior of real-life users by varying the actions and session lengths of simulated users. Most aspects of the load test are completely customizable to meet your specific business needs.

 

 

One more challenge is in developing the load for your test. Sometimes the load can be generated internally to the LAN or can be generated outside the LAN through a hosted load testing tool. We have experience with both of these types of load generation mechanisms.

 

 

Some things to think about when you are preparing to engage Code Q for a load test:

 

• Where do you need the load to be generated?

• What type of web application do you want to test?

• Are their interoperability concerns with outside systems?

• What kinds of scenarios do you want to mimic for your load test?

• What are you load goals in terms of number of users that you want to support?
