What are the Types of Performance Testing Most Commonly Used?

Below, we have mentioned the different types of performance testing on cloud that must be conducted by you without fail.

Stress Test: Stress Testing looks into the infrastructure of the cloud, its level of responsiveness, reliability and stability under a lot of load.

• Load test: Load testing confirms again and again whether the system is performing aptly or not, specially when more than one user makes use of it.

• Browser testing: This one is one of the most essential testing in the world for finding out whether a browser’s compatibility is absolutely perfect with the overall system.

• Latency testing: A latency test is basically the maximum time required for measuring the complete time taken to shift the data messages between the two basic points placed within a cloud network.

• Target Testing: Don't forget to Target the Test to each component or layer of an app. It is most of the times isolated and tested for the power to deliver the needed performance. This test helps you unwind any  problem that would cause danger to the entire system’s performance.

• Failover test: This fixes the capability of a system to call in the extra resources whenever it faces a lot of traffic and usage to make sure that the final customer’s experience is not at all affected.

• Capacity test: This test is extremely important for smartly identifying and marking the extreme traffic load that our cloud system can manage.

• Soak test: Soak testing measures our system performance during uncertain times whenever we are experiencing heavy traffic for the longest duration to validate its behavior in the awesome production environment.

Coming with the Right Strategy for Performance Testing in Cloud

Cost–effectiveness is a major factor pushing cloud computing to the core. Cloud lets you easily create different test regions for system testing as and when you wish to. The proper cloud testing strategy must remain focused on the pure intention behind moving to the cloud, along with saving precious costs, simple access to infrastructure, less cycle times, and the selection of public, private, or hybrid cloud, along with everything else. The plan must beautifully mention the type of tests that need to be performed in the cloud. Do you just wish to perform the Soak tests, capacity tests, or everything else that is mentioned above? Certain risks are associated with the Cloud that must be kept in mind before coming to the final decision. Constructing a test environment is difficult, infrastructure needs for the tests can be challenging, and the required testing tools, bandwidth, hardware, as well as software are the other parameters that must be a part of your entire test plan.
