Performance Testing

Performance testing reduces the major risk that IT systems are unable to support the expected volumes of users and that, while under load, they respond to user interactions within acceptable and agreed times. The effective use of performance testing, emulating hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of users interacting with the system, prior to go live and with each major release of the software mitigates this risk and provides the opportunity to tune the application performance in order to accommodate the expected user and transaction volumes at agreed performance levels.
