Load Testing
Load testing is an important part of performance testing that detects any weaknesses and marks where and when the issues arise. Usage statistics can help you determine a normal load, heavy load, and projected growth load during load testing.
First of all, it starts with the lighter load where the number of simultaneous users increases till the system seems to respond slowly. The loads keep increasing until the system stops responding and leads to failure. With the help of this information, you can identify the load boundaries and locate the bottlenecks.
The most used load testing tools are Cloudtest and LoadRunner. Here, the data is collected during the test which helps in detecting performance bottlenecks and infrastructure weaknesses. Load testing provides you information about the number of users or transitions your site can handle before response times increase. It can also identify memory leaks and load balance problems.
Every website has its specific breaking point. With the help of performance testing services, you can find your site’s breaking point and make necessary changes. At Maticore, we have a team of professionals to help you throughout the load-testing process.
Our Process of Load Testing
- Deciding on the normal and heavy loads for your application.
- Ascertaining prospective growth of business.
- Designing test for authenticating system performance for each defined load.
- Performing, logging benchmarks, and collecting important data.
- Preparing a report of testing results.
Major Advantages of Load Testing
- With load testing, you can identify bottlenecks at an early stage.
- Here, you get a quicker start for scalability plans.
- Load testing identifies issues early and saves your money too.
- The issue gets identified and solved before it impacts the customer.
