LOAD VS. PERFORMANCE TESTING

 

Many clients ask us to test their web app aiming to know its capability. But they do not understand exactly what they are looking for. If you want to measure the speed of your web app you need performance testing; If you want to know the limit of volume that can be processed by your app, you need load testing. In addition to these two types of testing one should consider scalability, stability, volume and stress testing depending on the nature of the application under test.

 

Web Application Load Testing Load Testing for Web Applications is a testing process used for determining a web application’s behavior under normal conditions as well as under high-load conditions. It aims to identify the maximum level of your web application capacity and find the elements which lead to degradation.

 

Code Q can provide you with high-skilled testers who will deliver load testing for your web apps manually and with the use of leading edge automation tools.

 

Our Load testing process is based on the following principles:

 

Unique requests – even when statistics of system work is formed, there are always a few users that request non-common used pages.

System response time – having a sufficient number of measurements, the probability of system response could be easily determined. System response time depends on the degree of system distribution.

The spread of response time – with a large number of time measurements there are always requests that require maximum processing time.

The accuracy of load profiles’ reproduction – the more complex software is the more aspects must be considered when developing and testing.

 

Why do you need load testing for web apps? Load testing becomes really important when it comes to the quality of performance and user experience of your website or web application. In the process of load testing Code Q team uses the following key performance indicators for your web application:

 

Requests per second

Average response time

Peak response time

Error rates

Concurrent users Throughput

 

Code Q Team carries out load testing for websites with custom developed cases and scripts. Where load testing for web applications can be used for? Load testing is carried out for web applications of different industries. You must be sure that your web product is load resistant and can work properly under both real-world usage and peak loads conditions.

 

That’s why we offer three different techniques of web app testing services:

 

Live Load Testing

Simulated Load Testing

Hybrid Load Testing

 

Our professional testers will detect all issues in your web application’s load resistance so you will be sure that your product will be ready to take a strong position on the market.
