Performance Tests

Question 1

What is the bottleneck?

Answer 1

Over-crowding or a congestion point of a software process, hardware product, or a computer network that slows down the whole workflow. If this point is exceeded, the app will crash

Question 2

When does the crashing point occur?

Answer 2

After the bottleneck is exceeded

Question 3

What does load testing involve?

Answer 3

We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are entering large amounts of data all at the same time

Question 4

Which type of performance type helps you understand how the app behaves under an expected load?

Answer 4

Load test

Question 5

What does stress testing involve?

Answer 5

We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing one specific action all at the same time

Question 6

What does scalability testing involve?

Answer 6

We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing one specific scenario all at the same time

Question 7

What does soak/endurance testing involve?

Answer 7

We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are performing load, stress, and scalability test within a specific timeframe

We’re trying to gauge the endurance of the app, how much it can handle for a long period of time

Question 8

What does volume testing involve?

Answer 8

We are monitoring response time, identifying bottleneck and benchmark while numerous users are launching the app all at the same time.

Question 9

What kind of tools do we use to execute these performance tests?

Answer 9

• J-meter
• Blaze meter
• HP Load Runner
