Performance Testing Service
We enhance system performance through performance, load, and stress testing to identify bottlenecks.
Types of Performance Testing
Load Testing
Load Testing allows for assessing a system’s capability to handle anticipated user traffic while maintaining smooth functionality. This involves simulating a specific number of users performing various transactions or operations over a determined amount of time.
Stress Testing
Stress Testing is designed to evaluate a system’s stability under extreme conditions. This involves pushing the system beyond its normal operational capacity (often to the point of breaking) to see how it responds under high-stress situations.
Spike Testing
Spike Testing focuses on understanding how a system reacts to sudden increases in load. We do this by increasing the volume of transactions for a brief period and monitoring the system’s response.
Endurance Testing
Endurance Testing, or soak testing, involves examining performance under a continuous expected load over a long period. This type of testing helps to uncover issues that might not appear during shorter test cycles (memory leaks, system slowdowns, etc.)

Methodology Overview
QAlified's Performance Testing United methodology offers a proven, structured approach to resolving performance issues. The key areas of focus in this methodology include:
Objective and strategy definition
We collaborate with you to define objectives and performance initiatives, then develop a tailored testing strategy to meet your needs.
Understanding the architecture
We analyze your application’s architecture to define its scope and coverage, ensuring components, services, and integrations perform effectively under load and stress.
Identify realistic scenarios
We collaborate to define real-world scenarios and design tests that ensure your applications perform excellently in their deployment context.
Test scripts development
Our test scripts simulate real user interactions by focusing on correlation, parameterization, and system configurations.
Test execution
We define key application aspects and test data, then gradually simulate load starting with a few users and increasing as needed.
Observability and monitoring
During tests, our observability tools monitor system states, analyze logs and traces, and help identify bottlenecks through key metrics.

Advantages of performance testing
What can QAlified bring to the discussion about performance testing, stress testing, load testing, and various other issues that organizations deal with?
Enhanced system reliability and user satisfaction
Performance testing ensures applications handle loads efficiently, identifying and fixing bottlenecks to maintain optimal performance and user satisfaction, even under high-load scenarios.
Risk mitigation and cost savings
We help ensure that applications can efficiently handle expected workloads. By conducting load, stress, spike, and endurance testing, we assist companies in identifying and resolving bottlenecks. This helps guarantee that applications can manage peak user loads without performance degradation. Our teams enhance overall user satisfaction by minimizing disruptions and ensuring optimal response times. We help provide a consistent user experience, especially in high-load/high-transaction volume scenarios.
Scalability and optimization
Tools
QAlified uses a variety of tools in this process, including but not limited to:
Frequently Asked Questions
Parameterization allows for the simulation of real-world interactions by using variable data instead of hardcoded values. This approach helps us ensure the testing process represents varied behaviors and data values, which also helps simulate realistic environments and outcomes.
Endurance testing (soak testing) can help identify issues that may not appear with shorter test cycles (think memory leaks or system slowdowns). Applications can sustain loads over extended periods without performance degrading. This is critical to allow for high availability and reliability.
Spike testing is necessary for e-commerce sites or event ticketing platforms, which may experience sudden surges in user activity. We can determine if the system can handle abrupt increases in load without performance issues.
Yes! Performance testing helps with the early detection of system bottlenecks and potential issues. This allows for implementing cost-effective solutions before going live. Optimizing resource utilization can provide long-term savings by preventing costly post-deployment fixes.
Our Performance Testing United methodology provides a comprehensive approach to performance testing. It includes analysis of correlation, scaling, and system monitoring. This helps us provide accuracy, addressing potential performance issues, thus enhancing overall testing efficiency.
Performance tests are crucial at several key stages, particularly before releasing to production. They are also vital after making significant architecture or infrastructure changes to assess the impact on performance. We embrace continuous performance testing as part of the development cycle. This allows for ongoing optimization and early detection of issues, ensuring consistent system efficiency.
We offer versatile performance testing services that cater to a broad range of platforms, including web, mobile, and APIs. Our expertise extends across various system types, such as CRM, ERP, HRM, and e-Commerce platforms. This helps us provide tailored testing solutions that meet your needs, regardless of the technological framework.
To start with performance testing, we first engage in an initial discussion to understand your unique requirements. This conversation helps us to develop a customized test plan that sets clear goals and defines the specific testing activities. Our team of expert testers will then be allocated to execute the service, ensuring thorough and effective performance analysis of your system.
Yes! We believe in empowering our clients. While providing top-tier performance testing services, we are committed to transferring project assets to your team. This approach enables your in-house staff to continue working with the tests we’ve created. Furthermore, we offer training to ensure your team is well-equipped to manage and evolve these tests, ensuring long-term performance optimization and self-sufficiency.
