Performance Testing and There Types

By
Performance Testing
A performance testing is a process of determining the-speed and effectiveness of the computer, network, software program and device. In this process, it can involve the quantitative tests done in the lab, such as measuring the response-time and the number of “millions of instructions per second” at which the systems functions.

Types of performance testing

Stress Testing:
The Stress Testing is a performance-testing type to checks the stability of software, when the hardware resources are not-sufficient like memory, CPU, disk space etc. A stress testing is the Negative testing, where we load-the software with the large number of concurrent users and processes which can’t be handled through the system’s hardware resources.  Main idea behind the stress-testing is to determine the-failure of systems & to keep an eye on, how the system-gracefully get recover back, this quality is called as recoverability. Stress testing comes under Non-Functional-Testing & it’s designed for test, the non-functional requirements of a software app.
Load Testing:
The Load Testing is a type of performance-testing to checks the system with constantly increasing load on system until time load is reaches to its threshold-value. It is normally carried out-underneath controlled-environment in order to distinguish between the two different systems. It is also known as “Endurance Testing”& “Volume Testing”.  Main purpose of the load testing is to monitor the response-time or staying the power of application, when the system is performing well under the heavy-load. The Load-testing comes under the Non-Functional-Testing and it is designed for test non-functional requirements of the software app.

Volume testing:
The Volume testing is a non-functional-testing which refers to the testing a software app with a large amount of a data to be processed for checks the efficiency of app. The main goal of this testing is to monitor the performance of application under varying database volumes.

Scalability Testing:
The Scalability Testing is a type of non-functional-tests & it is the testing of a software app for determines its capability to scale up in the terms of any of its non-functional-capability like user load supported, number of transactions, and the data volume etc. The primary aim is that; if this testing is for understand at what peak system prevent more-scaling.

Spike testing:
The Spike testing is a subset of the Stress Testing. A spike-test is carried out to validate the-performance of characteristics, when the system under test subjected to workload-models & load-volumes that repeatedly-increase beyond the anticipated productions operations for the short periods of time.
Soak Testing:
Soak testing focuses on long time period. They determine’s; whether the system can works under a continuous-loads. During the soak tests it’s important to pay the attention for such an issue as performance in-degradation which means that response time after the long time period would be worse than the-beginning.
Component Testing:
The component testing aims to checks the performance of any separate-component of the system such as the search function, pictures-upload, online-chats and etc.
Configuration testing:

The configuration testing is an essential test for dynamic systems. Changes made for systems configuration always needs to be tested for the understanding the effects they cause to the performance & behavior.

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

By
The testers should catch the bugs in software that they’re testing. Testers should try to catch as several vital bugs as soon as possible. Catching the crucial bug earlier on Product-Life-Cycle can save the Projects from financial losses & mitigate the risks as compared for catching the same at a later stage in SDLC. Steps to hunt the bugs: Sometimes it’s useful to break the rules: The following test cases, which were predefined a tester can miss the bugs so it makes it impossible’s to provide the product i.e. 100 percent bug free. If you-follow pre-determined test cases you risks becoming blind to outside the bugs. A first secret is to check the functionality under the test. It’ll be an effective channel to discover the more bugs, because functionality is not generally covered by the test cases. Examine the patterns: You might have noticed that the bugs can be often met in the groups, one can call them-gregarious. The testing a new but the similar functionality...

Cross browser testing Tools

By
Cross Browser testing It is a process to test the web apps across multiple browsers. It involves the checking compatibility of the app across multiple web browsers & ensures that your web app’s works correctly across different web browsers. Tools for Cross Browser Testing Browser shots: The browser shots might be most exhaustive cross browser-testing tool that exists. Browser Shots includes all of most popular-browsers, like Firefox, Chrome, & Safari, along with the tons of another browser’s that might sound unfamiliar, like Sea Monkey, Flock, & Iceape. You can adjust the resolution, color-settings, & even Flash and JavaScript settings. Cross Browser Testing: It allows users to test their websites with over the hundred resolution or browser and Operating System combinations. This also has support to mobile web-browsers, which is crucial because the web traffic is making shift from the primarily desktop computer users to primarily mobile ...

Mobile Application Testing: Strategy for Development

By
There are a huge number of demands and lots of competitions in the mobile application industries. In that demands and competitions, the mobile application testing has become more important. The testing phase of the mobile application testing looks like evil between the creative process and excitement of new products in the market. According to the survey, “In US, on an average 2-3 hours per day people spends their time on smartphones and tablets. On that time, they spent 80% on mobile application and remaining 20% on web applications.” Few list of key factors for successful mobile application testing strategies are: Selection of Device for Testing : Before introducing the mobile application test activities, first select the devices for testing the application. Selection decision is very important because only devices can help to targets maximum numbers of the customers for accessing the application. There are two parts for device selection: §   Device Model ...
