Measuring Performance Testing Effectiveness. Performance Testing measures the effectiveness of the computer, network or any software application. Quantitatively the application is tested for the response time upon certain input and qualitatively it's checked for reliability, scalability and interoperability. Performance Testing is conducted by using various tools like J Meter, Load Runner, Astra Load and WAPT. Performance parameters are defined for the application and results are analyzed on the basis of these parameters like "Response Time", "Throughput", "Transfer Rate" to name a few. A complete performance analysis report is compiled highlighting the performance issues and recommendations as per the analysis. Various types of testing parameters are used to determine the performance of an application. Stress Testing - (also called Load Testing) is performed to identify the stability of an application under certain level of load. During thi...

Top 6 Software Testing Methods WhiteBox testing: This kind of testing checks the developed structure and the continuous flow of the software. Each code and is checked in the testing helping generate strong and efficient software.       BlackBox testing: This testing main intention is to specifically check the Software functionality, this processing ignores the software programming structure. Performance testing: This testing does the part of checking the load time and usability in terms of performance of the software. Unit testing:  this kind of testing is performed by programmers who keep themselves updated with the latest technology. They check the internal codes and the design structure of the specific software. Automated Testing: This kind of testing is performed by QA testers. Latest tools and techniques are implemented under controlled condition. QA Services strategies plans for individual deleted bug software and define a ...
