Volume Testing

About volume testing

1. VOLUME TESTING is a testing done on high volume of data.It belongs to non-functional testing. It is performed in the part of performance testing where a software product or application with high volume of data is tested,like huge number of data files or data records in the system.It is also known as Flood Testing.

2. W hy is volume testing used: To check the system performance with increasing volume of data in the database. Volume testing will help to identify the capacity of the system or application – normal and heavy volume. To check the efficiency of the system by increasing the data.

3. T o identify the problem that are likely to occur with large amount of data. To figure out the point at which the stability of the system degrades. EX: t esting a music site behaviour when there are millions of users to download the song.

4. V olume testing-Checklist: V erify if there is any data loss. Check the system’s response time. Verify if the data is stored correctly or not. Check the data is overwritten without any notification. Check whether high volume data affects the speed of processing.

5. B enefits of Volume Testing: B y identifying load issues,a lot of money can be saved which otherwise will spent on application maintance . It helps in quicker start for scalability plans. It assures your system is now capable of real world usage.

6. SUMMARY: V olume testing is a way to check system performance for higher data loads. It is a non-functional testing. V olume testing will help to identify the capacity of the system.
