The Problem
Maintaining a well performing network, particular in a
multi-application environment, is a task much more complicated than it may look on the
surface. Accomplishment of this task depends on how successfully you solve key issues,
such as:
• Find, deploy, and master test automation tools
- Today's
software market offers some selection of products in this
area. But, if your system is more
complicated than a simple Web
site made up of "static" pages and few forms, making the right
choice is not going to be quick and easy. You would have to
invest some substantial time and effort
evaluating applicability of
available performance testing tools to the specifics of your
project.
Most of such tools are not only expensive but also fairly
complex. Therefore it will likely require
additional time and effort
to deploy the chosen instruments and train the testers to use
them
effectively.
• Stress or not to stress your application
- If your application is required to support hundreds or more
concurrent users, best practice demands that you do a simulated
stress test before moving your application into production.
• Organize in-house an adequate test team or decide to outsource
the testing effort to us - In comparison with other types of
software testing, performance testing imposes quite unusual
requirements toward the skills and overall mindset of a tester.
There is much more to the performance testing than just writing a
script, launching it on multiple machines, and generating reports.
Performance testing involves dealing with many factors that are
hard to quantify and predict. A performance tester must be able
to debug test scripts, to estimate validity and quality of test
results, to understand how numerous seemingly irrelevant factors
may substantially affect the experiments. In fact, a skill set of an
effective performance tester should include experience and
knowledge from several adjacent fields, such as math, statistics,
programming, networking, administration of various kinds of
servers...
Even a most advanced performance testing automation tool requires an experienced tester to control it and, most importantly, correctly interpret the testing results.
