Glossary
Requests per Second
A metric of RPS (Requests per second) measures the number of requests a system can handle within a one-second interval.
Reliability Testing
The process of evaluating the software’s reliability under various conditions and usage scenarios to determine its probability of failure throughout the development lifecycle. This includes related tests such as recovery testing, stability testing, stress testing, and failover testing to ensure the software consistently performs well and handles failures effectively.
Regression Testing
A part of software testing checks whether a system is crash-resistant and functional after a code change.
Regression Test Suite
A collection of test cases used to test code changes or added features and find out whether they don’t damage the code to which the changes have been made.

Recovery Testing
The process of evaluating how software recovers from crashes, failures, or other disruptions under load. It involves simulating failures to assess the software’s ability to restore functionality and performance, and measuring the time and effectiveness of the recovery process.
Retesting
The process of rerunning previously executed tests to verify that issues have been fixed and there are no new defects.
RDP
Remote Desktop Protocol by Microsoft that enables users to remotely access and control a computer or virtual machine over a network connection with a graphical interface.
Ramp-down Period
The period, typically at the end of the test, when the load gradually decreases from a higher level to zero. However, there can be exceptions, such as during spike testing, where the load drops from a peak back to a previous stage level instead of going directly to zero.
