Synthetic Monitoring is a technique that continuously simulates user interactions with a system or application to test its performance and availability. It is also known as proactive monitoring. Unlike Real User Monitoring (RUM), which tracks actual user behavior, synthetic monitoring operates in a controlled environment, generating traffic at regular intervals to identify issues before end-users … Read more
Introduction APM stands for Application Performance Monitoring. It’s a tool that is essential for ensuring the reliability, speed, and efficiency of software applications. It helps to track how well a website, mobile application, or business software is performing. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tools are required in today’s complex digital landscape. As businesses increasingly rely on … Read more
APM (Application Performance Monitoring) vs RUM (Real-User Monitoring) In the rapidly evolving world of web and application development, maintaining optimal performance and a smooth user experience is critical. Two of the most widely used monitoring strategies are Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Real User Monitoring (RUM). While both aim to enhance application reliability and performance, … Read more
Prompt engineering for performance testing involves crafting precise and goal-oriented prompts that effectively assess and evaluate the behavior, reliability, and responsiveness of a system, especially when dealing with AI models, APIs, or software components under various workloads. What is Prompt Engineering? Prompt engineering is the art of writing clear and well-structured instructions (called prompts) so … Read more
To measure CPU utilization in a cloud-based architecture, or, to be specific, in a cluster (e.g., a Kubernetes cluster, Hadoop cluster, or any distributed system), you need to monitor CPU usage across all nodes in the cluster. Some people might be unaware of the cluster. A cluster is a collection of servers (virtual or physical) … Read more
