Testing the stability and response time of the application by applying desired loads. Performance is a part of non-functional testing.
What is a load?
The active number of users that a particular application can handle.
Response Time:
Time is taken for a particular application to respond. Stability: How far the application is able to handle the desired load.
For eg:
If the software is designed to handle 5000 users when applying 1000 users and if the application collapses then it is an unstable application.
Types of Performance Testing:
Load Testing
Stress Testing
Soak Testing
Load Testing:
Applying a load greater than the desired number and checking the stability and the response time of an application is called Stress Testing.
Soak Testing:
Applying a load over a period of time and checking the stability and the response time of an application is called Soak Testing.
