What is Step-up Performance Test? The step-up performance test is helpful to identify the performance of a software system at varying loads. Unlike the load test, the step-up test has multiple steady states in a single test. Due to multiple steady states, this test is also called as ‘Multi-level Load Test’. Step-up test starts with … Read more
What is Break-Point Test? Application Break-Point Test helps to find out the breaking point of the application or server from performance testing perspective. This test is helpful to identify the maximum load-bearing capacity of the application. More likely some applications fail during stress test when the expected future load is applied on the server. If … Read more
YouTube Video: What is Spike Test? What is Spike Test? Spike Test refers to a performance test which simulates a sudden high load on the server for a shorter period of time. This is a type of non-functional test which helps to identify the behaviour of an application or software system when an unexpected huge … Read more
What is a Soak Test or Endurance Test? YouTube Video: Soak (Endurance) Test Soak Test is a type of non-functional test which helps to identify the memory leakage into the software system. Another name of the Soak Test is ‘Endurance Test’. In the soak test, a significant load is applied on the server for an … Read more
What is Stress Test? Stress Test is a type of non-functional test which verifies the performance of an application or software system at futuristic load. The futuristic load is a predicted load which should be handled by an application in the future with existing software and hardware. The defined load for a Stress test is … Read more
