LOAD TESTING SERVICES Avoiding Bugs in Your
Software

• Lets first know what actually Load Testing is.
• Load testing is the process specifically followed
  to put the demands on a particular device or
  system, and quantify its response.
• This kind of software assessment is performed
  for determining the conduct and performance of a
  definite system under normal conditions and
  during the anticipated conditions of an optimal
  load.
• This process also helps in identifying the
  operating capacity of an application in consort
  with the holdups and the technical glitches
  responsible for any hindrance or degradation of
  the normal activities.

• Lets now discuss some load testing measure that
  you need to take to avoid the eminence of bugs in
  your website.

An Early Start

• The planning of the evaluation of the load needs
  to be started pretty early during the designing
  phase. This is for ensuring that you are not
  caught unexpectedly during the development due to
  any unfair incident.
• The rule of thumb is that you carry out your work
  with a notion that there will be problems and
  issues to happenstance.
• Dont make underestimations as these may prove to
  be extremely expensive. The two most common
  underestimations that people usually make are on
  the number of errors that are to be taken care of
  and the nature of the errors that will have to be
  fixed.

Defining the Environment

• This is another step that needs to be taken care
  of to keep the bugs at bay.
• Define the testing environment and for that you
  shall need to evaluate the kind of the required
  effort.
• It is also important to create a distinct
  environment for the evaluation that is apt for
  production.
• It is to be perceived that the configuration of
  the machine, its speed and the set up are same
  else the anticipation of the performance becomes
  virtually impossible.

6

• One of the most important tasks is decreasing the
  uncertainties and answering questions with
  convincing evidences.
• Though, for any similar hardware, you can make
  some rough guesses, which quite often are far
  from the accurate.
• Load evaluation of an application ensures that it
  is ready to perform once live.

7
As a rule, this testing type answers the
following questions in a convincing way

• If the application will crumble when subjected to
  load and stress?
• Can all the pre-defined performance targets be
  met?
• How many users can the website handle at one
  time?

8
Even the performance related issues are common.
These issues stem from the following reasons

• Poor network configuration quality
• Issues regarding the software configuration
• Improper and poorly optimized software coding

9
A good load evaluation process saves the
organizations from financial losses resulting in
poor performances of the software and the
interlude of the service it roots.
10
While testing, it is vital to take into
consideration the following points

• Reduction of employee productivity
• Potential loss of customers, clients and partners
• Damage to the corporate brand value
• Extra cost of fixing issues in case of emergency
• Setting up inappropriate contingency plans that
  only increase the expenses
• Needless expense of obtaining hardware that are
  not needed

11
An archetypal load testing software avoids all
these issues. Moreover, it has the following
benefits

• Low licensing fees
• Appropriate graphical interface that reduces the
  human hours needed for manual testing
• Significant reduction in hardware costs, because
  of its cross platform capabilities that allow the
  stress or load to be produced on a variety of
  domains or platforms.

12

• Henceforth, from the technical standpoint, load
  testing services provides a whole heap of
  advantages for the users when it comes about
  recording the business actions that are executed
  within a specific web application with an
  understanding to keep the bugs at bay.
