Performance Testing

Are you:

• At a risk of losing revenue and productivity when the performance of your applications degrades or when your end users experience downtime?
• Having problems when your system fails to perform well under full load?
• Worried about how your system will perform when it is loaded for longer durations?
• Concerned whether your application or system can scale to the desired level of usage in production?
• Facing issues with reliably maintaining the stability of your systems over time and with growing volumes?
• Losing users as system performance is very poor?

Virtusa believes that earlier the performance testing starts in the application development process, the faster the software defects or architectural problems will be found. Given that the cost of correcting performance issues grows exponentially for each downstream phase of the development lifecycle in which they remain undiscovered, it is imperative that performance testing starts as early as possible.

We address performance issues by comprehensively testing for the scalability of applications using a combination of industry-standard, open source and in-house performance testing tools, frameworks and methodologies.

Our Performance Testing Solutions cover critical testing domains including:

• Load testing. Modeling the expected usage by simulating multiple users accessing the program’s services concurrently.
• Stress testing. Determine the stability of a given system testing it beyond normal operational capacity.
• Reliability testing. Determines how long the application can sustain optimum performance levels uder expected loads.
• Scalability testing. Determines how long the application can scale up , be it user load supported, the number of transactions , the data volume etc
• Volume testing. Testing a software application for a certain data volume

While leveraging best practices from multiple projects and our extensive experience, we have developed a performance testing framework called PerfFrame with load testing tools to reduce the effort and increase the degree of reusability. It is also a model for automating performance tests across business workflows. Read more...
