Testing Definitions - Part 2

Load Testing Types : Definitions

1) Load Testing  -: To determine the performance of the system with varying levels of load (different  workload upto max expected workload).

3) Volume Testing -: Testing the performance of the system with respect to increase in data volumes or database size.

4) Performance Testing -: Identify the desired load that system is expected to handle. Using this benchmark we will measure the performance of the system.

Required Terminologies :

1) Response time -: The time in which system responds  to a transaction i.e., the time interval between submission of request and receiving response.

 
2) Think time -: Time taken to select new transaction after response for previous transaction is received.

What is Benchmarking ?

=>Benchmarking is a process of comparing  the performance of  two or more system using the same workload or single system with different workloads

=>Workload used during benchmarking is called  benchmark.

=>Benchmarking is used to conduct load, Stress, Performance and Volume testing.
