Stuff Handpicked for Performance Engineers

  Welcome to Performance Testing Gyaan😀 In this post I will discuss about Parameterization and Correlation. The terms are used during scripting of performance test cases. Parameterization : You will often be required to provide different values for the user input for each Vuser during load testing. These values (for example a username and password) can come from different data sources like a csv file, xml file, or from a database etc. This technique of replacing hard-coded values of user input with variables or parameters is called Parameterization. Correlation : This is similar to parameterization except that the same concept is applied to parameterize values that are dynamically returned by the server, in its response to a request from the client. Examples are session id, security tokens etc. These dynamic values are often required by the server to distinguish between the multiple users. Load testing tools will provide different functions or ways in which parameterization and co...

Welcome to Performance Testing Gyaan😀 Let's dive in to understand core concepts and terminologies used by Performance Engineers. Performance Testing  - The application's performance is tested when multiple users are accessing the application over a period of time. Performance testing involves checking the speed, reliability, scalability, stability, response time, and resource usage of an application under the anticipated workload.  Performance Testing is a subset of Performance Engineering (PE) . The core concepts remains the same for both. PE is basically the new approach that meets the rapid delivery demands of software applications.  Read more on microfocus web site ->  What is the Difference Between Performance Testing and Performance Engineering? It is a continuous process and is done after functional testing is completed and therefore is a type of Non-functional testing.  The motive is to find any performance issues before the application goes li...
