Appsierra Performance testing is a type of software testing performed to test the behaviour of the software under real-world load and conditions. The outcomes of a performance test are generated in the form of some metrics. A metric is nothing but a measuring unit in which the result of a test is calculated….Learn more The common points considered while selecting metrics are: 1. The metrics should be important for the undergoing project. 2. It should be very hard to calculate. Advantages of performance testing metrics 1. Performance testing metrics help in tracking the progress of a project. 2. They also discover the main cause of problems in the software…..Learn more Some common performance testing parameters Processor Usage: The amount of time required by the processor to execute non-idle threads. Memory Use: It is the amount of memory available in a computer for processing purposes. Disk Time: It is the amount of time disk busy in the execution of reading or write requests. Bandwidth: This metrics gives the bits per second utilised by the system interface. Private Bytes: It is the number of bytes allocated to a process that cannot be shared with other processes. These metrics help in finding the memory leakage, and usage. Committed Memory: It is the amount of virtual memory used in the process. Memory Pages/Second: It is the measure of the number of pages written to or read from the disk to fix the hard page faults. Hard Page faults occur when instead of calling the code from the current working set, it is called from anywhere else and retrieved from the disk. Page Faults/Second: It is the rate at which the processor can process the fault pages. These faults occur when the code has to be called from outside its working set. CPU Interrupts/second: It is the average number of interrupts from the hardware a processor is dealing with each second. Response Time: It is the interval of time from the entry of a request by the user till the first character of the response is received. Throughput: It is the rate at which a system receives requests from the users per second…..Learn more Some common web performance metrics When it comes to developing and testing the performance of a website, here are some web performance testing metrics to help you in doing it….Continue reading
