Automating performance testing results: best practices part 3
In Part 1 of this tutorial, we had a close look on how to update your load testing environment to make load testing results automation possible. Instead of preparing your load testing report manually for days, with the environment discussed above, your data structure will depend on you, not you on your data structure.
In Part 2, we’ve tackled a problem that engineers in every load testing company complain about, — namely, how Grafana slows down the system, — and several other quick fixes to your Grafana dashboards. We plunged into multiple databases and data sources, retention policies and tag filters.
Finally, in this part we want to enable you to automate your test reports using all the infrastructure you have hopefully designed after reading through parts 1&2.
Testing environment in the project lifecycle
To launch a product, you often need several testing environments. But why? Why pile up equipment, overload engineers with tasks, and hire more staff? Is it really inevitable? We will take a closer look at this problem below, but trust us, it is.
Performance Testing: What It Is, and Why You Need It
In PFLB, we strongly believe in the importance of performance testing for business. It’s cheaper, more rational and more effective to run performance tests and avoid the crash rather than mend the system after the crash, losing not only revenues, but also man hours. In this article, we’re proving the point.

In this part, let’s tackle a problem that engineers in every load testing company complain about, — namely, how Grafana slows down the system, — and several other quick fixes to your Grafana dashboards.
Automating performance testing results: best practices. Part 1
In this article, we start with a major topic, and then, in the following parts, we’ll go deeper into super-hardcore stuff.
Test reports automation is the way to optimize testing costs and make performance testing more affordable. By cutting the cost, you will also be able to attract smaller businesses as customers. Good news: test reports automation is possible with the help of such popular tools as Grafana and InfluxDB, that all testers are already familiar with, to say the least.
SAP Load Testing for X5 Retail: Case Study
There are few companies in the IT systems quality assurance market that have expertise in SAP testing, but PFLB is one of the few that do.

When is the Best Time to Start Test Automation
Testing is critical to the quality of software and ensures that errors don’t seep into the final product. However, the amount of software testing needed in projects is simply too much for testing teams unless they partially use test automation. Quality Assurance teams use Test Automation to run detailed, repetitive, and data-intensive without any manual […]
