To ensure that users get high-performing software that works seamlessly under all load conditions, performance testing is necessary. This test helps to measure the speed, scalability, reliability, and stability of software under varying loads, thus it ensures stable performance. Today, let's learn more about this testing type in depth.

Two important ways to improve this metric are to implement quality assurance testing throughout multiple development environments and to automate testing and DevOps processes. A change failure rate above 40% can indicate poor testing procedures, which means teams will need to make more changes than necessary, eroding efficiency.

HDR was launched at Netflix in 2016 and the number of titles available in HDR has been growing ever since. A vital aspect of such development is subjective testing with HDR encodes in order to generate training data. The pandemic, however, posed unique challenges in conducting a conventional in-lab subjective test with HDR encodes.

Traditional testing and monitoring practices have long been relied upon to achieve this goal. However, the line between testing and monitoring is becoming increasingly blurred with the emergence of synthetic monitoring. The term "synthetic" is used because it does not rely on traffic generated by real clients and end-users.
