2. Why Performace Testing is Important?
Tracking Metrics
Performance tests help to identify issues with the
system, which helps companies avoid issues on high
traffic days.
Better User Experience
The best performance testing tools, when used
correctly, detect the problem before it harms the user
experience.
Identifying Bottlenecks
Performance tests can locate bottlenecks or sources
of performance problems.
Increasing Customer Satisfaction
Improved performance leads to greater customer
satisfaction and retention rates.

3. Different Types of Performance Testing
Load Testing
This type of testing determines the response of
an application under different loads.
Stress Testing
Stress testing evaluates a system's ability to
handle high traffic or situations of extended
stress.
Volume Testing
It measures the system's capacity in handling
large amounts of data.
Capacity Testing
It determines the required sizing and
performance requirements for the system.

4. Performance Testing Best
Practices
Test Early and Often ??????
You should always start performance testing as soon as possible in your project
and incorporate it into your testing plan regularly.
Reproduce the Problem ??????
A performance test needs to be repeatable so that it can be replayed with the
same test parameters and data.
Combine with Functional Testing ??????
Functional testing and performance testing should work together to ensure
good performance as well as provide feedback on functionality.
Set Realistic Goals ??????
Setting goals for performance testing helps ensure you’re testing the right thing
and provides accountability.

5. Performance Testing Tools
1
Apache JMeter
It is an open source desktop
application designed to load
test and measure the
performance of websites,
applications and services.
2
Gatling
An open-source software load
testing framework based on
Scala, Akka and Netty.
3
LoadRunner
HPE LoadRunner is a software
testing tool from Micro Focus
tailored for enterprise-level
performance and load testing.

6. Challenges of Performance Testing
Upfront Cost �
Allocating resources like
hardware or software as well
as configuring and
customizing performance-
testing tools can be expensive.
Data Sets �
With the increase in data
volumes, it can be difficult to
create test scenarios that
accurately simulate realistic
user loads.
Complexity ??????
Selecting the right
performance test
methodology and tool can be
challenging due to their
complexity.

7. Benefits of Performance Testing
Increased Efficiency
Finding and addressing potential
performance issues can increase
efficiency and reduce wasted,
nonproductive time.
Cost Savings
Performance testing can lead to
cost-saving opportunities such as
optimization of data loads and
reduction of hardware
requirements.
Better Planning and
Resource Allocation
With an understanding of
performance capabilities, planning
for future needs and allocating
resources becomes simpler.

8. Conclusion and Key Takeaways
1Performance Testing is Essential
✅
It helps to deliver high-quality applications
that run smoothly, securely and provide a
faster user experience.
2Choose the Right Tools ??????
Select the tools and resources that meet your
application and performance-testing needs
effectively.
3Stay Up-to-Date Within the
Industry ????????????‍??????
Keep learning, researching and ensure you are
following current best practices.
4Start Small and Iterate ??????
Begin performance testing early, work in small
iterations and evaluate your progress at each
step of the way.
