Performance Testing
WHAT ?
A non-functional testing technique performed to check speed, response time, reliability, scalability, stability of a software program under expected workload.
It is a subset of performance engineering and is also known as “Perf Testing”.
The focus of Performance Testing:
1.Speed/Response Time – Determines whether the application responds quickly.
2.Scalability – Determines maximum user load the software application can handle.
3.Stability – Determines if the applications is stable under varying loads.

2.
Performance Testing
WHY NEEDED?
Performance testing uncovers what needs to be improved before the product goes to
market. Without performance testing, software is likely to suffer from issues such as:
1. Running slow while several users use it simultaneously.
2. Inconsistencies across different operating systems and poor usability.
3. Bottlenecks are obstructions in system which degrade overall system performance.
Some common performance bottlenecks are:
- CPU utilization
- Memory utilization
- Network utilization
- Disk usage

3.
Performance Testing
TYPES :
1.Load Testing: Applying desired number of load and checking the
stability & response time of the application.
2.Stress Testing: Applying more then desired number of load and
checking the stability time of the application.
3.Endurance/Soak Testing: To make sure the software can handle
the expected load over along period of time.
4.Spike Testing: By increasing the number of users suddenly by a
very large amount and measuring the performance of the system.
5.Volume Testing: Transferring/Write huge volume of data into db
& monitor the stability & response time of application.

4.
Performance Testing
Performance or Load Testing Tools:
When we have to measure the load, stability, response time of the application, we
required some performance (load) testing tools, which help us to test the
performance of the software or an application.
There are various types of performance testing tools available in the market; some of
the most used performance (load) testing tools are as follows:
- Apache Jmeter
- LoadRunner
- LoadNinja
- NeoLoad
- LoadView etc.

5.
WHY ?
1. Its is open source tool.
2. It can load & perform test many different server
types:
- Web -HTTP,HTTPS
- Web Services - SOAP
- Database via JDBC drivers
- Messaging Oriented service via JMS
- Mail Service − POP3, IMAP, SMTP
- FTP Service
3.It allows concurrent sampling by many thread
groups.
4.Test results can be captured in various format like
summary report,graph,results in tree & table,etc.

2.Download Apache JMeter :
- Download jmeter from below link
https://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi
- This will download a zip file.Unzip this
to a directory.
- Start Jmeter from Terminal/cmd.
a. Traverse to the jmeter installed path,
for my case this is:
”/home/deepali/Downloads/apache-jmeter-5.5/bin”
b. And run Jmeter.sh (for Linux)/Jmeter.bat(for Win)
c. This will open the GUI of Jmeter.

1. How to prepare a Test Plan in Jmeter.
2. How to prepare Test script in Jmeter.
3. How to put load & analyze performance metrics.
4. Importance of HTTP Cookie Manager.
5. Assertions
6. Controllers
7. Timers

10.
What is Test Plan ?
- A Test Plan describe a series of steps jmeter will execute when run.A
complete test plan will consists of one or more Threads group, logic
controller, listner, timers, assertions, and config elements.
- The different components of JMeter are called Elements. Each Element is
designed for a specific purpose.
Elements in Jmeter or in a Test Plan

11.
Thread Group
- Setup numbers of threads
- Setup ramp up period.
- No. of times test execute.
Controller
- Samplers(Send reuqest to server)
- Logical controller(customize logic to send
request)
Listener
- Graph Results
- View results tree & many more
Timers
- Delay next request certain amount of time.
Assertions
-Allow you to assert fact about response received from HTTP request

Assign Tasks in an Email Using the “3Ws”:
3Ws : Who, What, and When - every action should have a clear Who, What, When.
1.Who - Name of a specific person who you want to complete a task for you(not a
group of people).
2.What - Description of the exact task you need someone to do (no assumptions).
3.When - Exact date and time a task needs to be completed by (clear deadline).
Ex.”Ray, please send me the updated status report by Monday,Nov 23 at 3pm US
Eastern Time”.
