Effective Test strategy-Technique-Methdology for high test coverage

Any  load testin g  project should start with the development of a model for user workload that an application receives. This should take into consideration various performance aspects of the application and the infrastructure that a given workload will impact. A workload profile is a key component of such a model. Depending on the type and goals of a load test, one or more profiles may be appropriate. Choosing the workload profiles representative of anticipated real load over time (whether it is an everyday usage scenario or a high peak) results in more accurate answers to the “main questions of load testing” such as, “Will my site support N users performing a search at the same time?” and “What is the highest number of users that my site will support – while remaining within specified quality and performance guidelines?” Workload modeling identifies one or more workload profiles to be simulated against the tested application. The workload model then attempts to approxima...

In this modern era, we are living in a space where almost everything is found over World Wide Web. Only perquisite you need is to have proper internet connection at home and it feels like you have the whole world in your hands . .If you search for any information over the web, you end up with countless providers who are just few clicks away from you. This growing competition also demands better customer services to get the competitive edge. Main purpose of web applications is to facilitate the users in getting their desired information in a quick and efficient manner. Thus a web applications performance is the most important parameter to attract and retain maximum users. So now we know that “ performance”  is the key to any web application, how do we measure an applications performance? how to plan a proper and efficient approach? The answer is “ performance testing”  with a well planned “ Workload Model “    is designed  to valida...
