Performance Testing Tools

Definition of Performance Testing: To confirm the interoperability of system, computer program or application, network and speed, effectiveness, scalability, reliability of application is come in performance testing. This process also can test by two or more software applications to compare the speed, bandwidth, reliability, efficiency and data transfer rate..

Manually performance testing is possible or not?

It is not easy but extremely difficult to perform the performance testing manually, better judgment will be to use performance testing tool from market.

Automation tools for Performance Testing:

There are two types of tools for performance testing.

Commercial Tools:

i.                    Hp Performance Tester or Load Runner- Load runner supported the all protocols:

          

Pros and Cons of Load runner or HP performance tool:

Pros and Cons of HP Performance Tester tool

Borland Silk Performer:

It is a stress and enterprise class load tool. It has capacity to test application in multiple environments with the thousands or concurrent users. Silkperformer also supports to protocols which have widest range.

Features:

1. Components like i. performance explorer

ii.                  Workbench

iii.                True Log Explorer

2. It requires minimum resources or hardware for virtual users

Pros and Cons of the Silk Performer tool:

Rational Performance Tester: It is load and performance testing tool made by IBM Corporation. RPT or Rational performance tester is performance test creation, analysis and execution tool that helps the developer team to verify the scalability and reliability of websites before making them live on production.

Features:

i.                    No involvement of Code

ii.                  Even and Scheduled base test

iii.                Identification of immediate performance problem in real time reporting

iv.                Large multi users tests execution

v.                  Correct user profile workloads

vi.                Test data variation automation

vii.              Customization with Java Code

Open Source Tools:

Apache Jmeter: comes in open source tool. It can be used to test load and performance testing for measuring and analyzing the performance of variety of services. This tool is made only for websites type software applications.

Features: Apache doesn’t ask state of is infrastructure for supports and load testing with multiple load injectors controlled by a unique controller.
