I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. I decided to publish a few parts here to see if anything triggers a discussion. – Cloud. – Agile. – Continuous Integration.

For example, we instruct the testing tool to navigate to the registration page, fill out the form and press the submit button. So we need the testing tool to read the email message, parse it and navigate the link. The first challenge is to connect the testing tool with the mail server.

Let’s face it - the ideal load test emulates real world traffic, yet most load testing software doesn't come close. A series of GET requests from an in-house server can't possibly replicate what actually happens when a website sees a sudden increase in users from all over the world.

In SOA, the application sends a request through the service provider’s server via an API gateway, which in turn returns a response. We have mentioned that the application talks to different services through different API gateways, so the first thing is to test the APIs or web services involved. Performance Testing.

The traditional testing that was done on the software installed on local servers is now slowly fading away. With cloud-based testing, everything resides on the cloud and therefore the testing approach also changes where all testing related activities are done on the cloud and IT is delivered as a service.

If you’ve been performing on-premise testing in your organization, you know the rules already. But for the uninitiated, on-premise testing is a form of testing where testers perform tests on local machines, systems, or devices set up at an office. On-premise testing comes with a lot of responsibility.

Load testing is a form of non-functional testing that is carried out to understand the behaviour of an application under a specific user load. Why Load Testing? The server couldn’t withstand the load and it went down! On that day, they realized the importance of testing for potential load on the server.

The screenshot below explains that page load time and lighthouse performance scores are not the same, yet they are really close to each other.

If you have a distributed environment with multiple servers hosting your webservers, app servers, and database, I suggest you install the OneAgent on all these servers to get full end-to-end visibility.
