How to Plan Application Performance Testing

Nowadays according to businesses the delivery of a digital experience is more than just page loads and speed time. And this is the main reason that performance testing is becoming major responsibilities of software testers due to which they had to adopt multi-level testing approach on additional to load and stress testing. Below we will describe the best practices for performance testing that will prepare the testers for the border challenges than the regular challenges.

Build a complete Strategy

Pen down all the important and major strategies that you need to execute for the betterment of performance of the application. There will be lot of requirement of planning before the execution.  If we learnt the interactions between the components and the user interactions we will be able to understand the test very clearly and efficiently. Testing strategy should be precise to the real time scenarios.

Include time to think while Testing

The time taken by the typical user at the time of working on the application can be included in the think time. This can occur randomly while pausing for the extra information or while playing across the screen or switching from one section to the other.

Performance bottleneck

No matter of the experience level, we are never sure about the performance level when they would head up and whenever these kinds of things happen never go through the whole application just concentrate on the main issue occurred module.

Utilizing Experience

Performance issues do pop-up at anytime and take time to find the root cause. Continuous testing with the same conditions will give us the idea of the existence of the problem. Continuous monitoring will build a filter for the performance testing automatically. A good practice helps the observer to analyze his own testing skills overtime and gets expert in getting into the actual root cause of the problem.
