When should I start performance testing?
As soon as several web pages are working, the first load tests should be conducted by the quality assurance team. From that point forward, performance testing should be part of the regular testing routine each day for each build of the software.
How Load testing can be performed?
Load testing is a type of non-functional testing. A load test is type of software testing which is conducted to understand the behavior of the application under a specific expected load. Load testing is performed to determine a system’s behavior under both normal and at peak conditions.
How do you manually load test?

- Always keep end-users in mind.
How to write test plan for load testing?
People often start load testing by creating a script in their favorite load testing tool, but good load testing starts before that. Planning a load test may seem like a tedious exercise, but it is essential to ensuring the success of your testing. A test plan should answer why, what, who, when, and how the testing will be carried out.
Which is the best tool for load testing?
Compared to traditional load testing tools, LoadView does not require any costly investment, time-consuming setup, or previous knowledge of scripting frameworks. Additionally, the platform provides more than 20 global locations to spin-up load injectors from, so you can test and measure performance from multiple locations during each test.
Is it worth it to do a load test?
The end result can be a hugely expensive and/or time-consuming load test that might not even give you the results you want. Organizations that spend tons of time and money on a load test are not likely to do any load testing except when it’s necessary.
What makes a load test a team activity?
Load testing is a team activity. When a load test involves multiple application teams, it’s important to request availability of key persons on those teams during the test. Often as load testers, we are seen as working independently, but the truth couldn’t be farther from that. Load testing is a team sport.
