Best Practices for Application Performance Testing

Home » Blogs » Application Performance Management/Monitoring » Best Practices for Application Performance Testing

When done properly, software application performance testing determines if a system meets certain acceptable criteria for both responsiveness and robustness. Before you jump in to testing, though, there are some best practices to remember. Start by defining test plans that include load testing, stress testing, endurance testing, availability testing, configuration testing and isolation testing.

Specifically, provide the ability to run performance “unit” testing as part of the development process – and then repeat the same tests on a larger scale in later stages of application readiness.
