Performance Testing was always a part of Software Testing whether explicitly stated or not. The world of software testing is becoming smarter and mature. With the changing landscape of Computing and a paradigm Industry wise shift towards SOA/web based applications has brought a forefront focus on Performance Testing and the expectations saught from this kind of testing are measurable numbers. I have tried to extract the entire essence in terms of minimal words which could serve the purpose to cut-short the learning time. Performance Testing is about to measure the performance of an application under test whether the application is an embedded, desktop or a distributed enterprise application. However, these are the enterprise based applications/architectures where lies the prime focus of performance testing. Expectations saught from AUT is to measure the performance numbers and ensuring that it conforms to the expectations.
Pre-Deployment Testing and Implementation of a Converged Network
For those of you who frequent this blog or use Anue products, you are very aware of the importance of testing against the real world network before deploying on it. The following is a great guest post discussing how and why to test new converged applications before rolling out to the production network.
The best way to actually complete the tests with the highest level of accuracy is to use a Network Emulator that can capture and replay actual conditions from your unique network environment.
