What Is Load Testing in Software and Why You Need It?
Load testing is a type of software testing that enables teams to evaluate software performance under varying user loads. The main purpose of load testing is to test the application under expected real-world scenarios. Testing professionals usually apply load testing when the project is nearing its completion. With that said, load testing is not limited […]
Load Testing Metrics: How to Verify Success of Performance Testing
One of the major problems affecting a website’s performance and competitiveness is its inability to cope with the burden of heavy traffic. This in turn leads to an inability to meet all users’ demands without cracks, temporary display errors or response speed. Consequently, the burden on the site is essential in determining its success and […]
Using a REST Request Emulator in a Real-life Project
A large governmental enterprise that processes a huge amount of various documents has recently approached us. We had to organize the autonomous testing process of key subsystems, which comprise the automated information system. Moreover, we couldn’t use an out-of-box solution (client’s specification), so we had to develop a custom tool that would satisfy the client’s requirements.
Testing Environment for Performance and Load Testing
In any software development project, it is critical to carry out test plans that guarantee that the application’s performance requirements are met. From the most obvious perspective, performance tests are a set of tests that allow us to measure the speed of execution of a series of tasks in a system under certain conditions. To […]
JMeter vs LoadRunner: Which App Is Better for Performance and Load Testing
Performance testing is necessary for evaluating the response time, scalability, reliability, speed, and resource usage of applications and web services under their expected workloads. The software market currently has various performance testing tools. Nevertheless, when we speak of performance testing tools, Apache JMeter and OpenText LoadRunner (former HP LoadRunner) are the two names that automatically […]
Siebel CRM Load Testing
Our company was approached during the Bank’s transformation, in which they expected increasing demand for its products, leading to more user operations and higher system load. The system being tested is a credit approval system based on Siebel CRM. The system provides functionality for working with card and credit products, making it possible to conduct the full range of credit-servicing operations.
The Role of Manual Software Testing in Software Development
Manual testing is the process of identifying bugs and defects in software without the help of software testing automation tools. In this procedure, QA manual testers execute test cases manually while considering the end user’s perspective. Manual software testing ensures that software functions as per the client’s specific requirements. Therefore, software manual testers need to […]
Why Is Unit Testing Important in Software Development?
Software testing is a detailed procedure that requires many steps. It is an essential part of the software development process and is done so that only the best product reaches the end-user. Unit testing is a method that is used to test programs and applications to see if they function according to the clients’ specifications. […]
Unit Testing vs Integration Testing
Every software functions thanks to communication processes between modules. While a project team is working on the build release, knowing that the basic app blocks function well when put together is essential. That’s why tech companies run integration testing. As an alternative, there’s unit testing — it’s smaller in scale and cheaper, and allows to […]
What Is User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for Websites? Definition & Examples
A user acceptance test is the final stop in the software testing process and one of the most important stages. It helps ensure that the system is intuitive enough for a user to navigate it effortlessly, it meets the audience’s expectations, and caters to its needs.
Find out how to approach user acceptance testing, how it fits in the overall testing process, what types of activities QA specialists perform as a part of UAT, and what steps are needed to complete acceptance testing are.
