Types of Performance Testing

Explore the different types of performance testing such as load, stress, scalability, and page load testing. Understand the comprehensive process from requirement gathering to executing tests and analyzing results to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in a software system.

In the previous chapter, we touched on the basics of performance testing and the common issue indicators. This lesson will go through the various types of performance testing and the different processes involved in planning and executing it for a software system.

What are the types of performance testing?

There are various types of testing that can be performed to effectively determine performance bottlenecks. We will talk about some of these in detail in the next few lessons.

  • Load Testing – It determines the overall load capacity of the system by identifying the system’s performance during average, peak load, and when the load limit is above the threshold of the break.
