It's not news how even some very high profile websites have suffered from serious performance issues owing to large hits on their websites- eventually resulting in monetary loss and above all loss of valuable customers. At Mindfire, with our expert team of Load and Performance testers, we help ensure that streamlined efforts are also being aligned towards this very important aspect of development.

To discuss about our services, expertise and how we can help you, please contact us on sales@mindfiresolutions.com or call 1-248-686-1424.To gauge whether the created infrastructure can actually handle the predicted level of traffic, we include services viz., Scalability testing, Load testing, Stress testing as well as Live Performance Monitoring.

Our Load Testing Services Approach

  • Identify performance acceptance criteria

    This is the most valuable aspect in the application development life cycle, and therefore should be recorded and available to the entire team for review and evaluation. For example consider the points like response time, throughput, and maximum user load etc.
Response time
The home page must be displayed in not more than 'x' seconds
Throughput
There should be 'x' number of successful transaction per second.
Maximum user load
The objective here is to determine the maximum users that can access the application at a specific hardware configuration.
Internet speed
Website performance over various connection speed e.g. modem, lease-line etc.
Peak usage time
Certain websites will attract more users during particular time of the day. We consider these scenarios while designing the load tests.
  • Identify key scenarios

    Scenarios are nothing but a compilation of the expected user activities that will be performed on the application. We identify the most commonly executed ones and take into consideration all other possible scenarios: a path that utilizes the maximum resource, a new user browsing, a registered user logging in, so on and so forth.
  • Create a workload model

    This will determine the characteristics of the key scenarios based on our key user group.
  • Identify the target load levels

  • Identify metrics

    The list might be endless for this, but we need to chalk down this list to the metrics that we anticipate will help us identify bottlenecks.
  • Design specific tests

  • Run tests

  • Analyze the results

    (through graphs and reports).

Deliverables:

  • Comprehensive Master Test Strategy, Test plans, Test scipts and Test designs for load and performance testing
  • Various performance measures such as throughput, response time, and resource utilization
  • Potential bottlenecks that need to be analyzed
  • The performance and behavior of the application at various load levels

These help our clients analyze what the load test has helped accomplish.
