- Performance testing: It is the process of creating and carrying out tests to evaluate how quickly, accurately and steadily software systems or applications operate.
- Load Testing: Testing the system’s performance at different user activity or data load levels is known as load testing.
- Stress testing: It involves assessing the system’s performance in difficult scenarios, like heavy user traffic or resource shortages.
- Benchmarking: It is the process of evaluating a system’s performance against rivals or industry norms.
- Performance monitoring: It is the process of putting procedures and tools in place to keep an eye on how well systems or applications are performing in real time.
- Root Cause Analysis: Examining and determining the root cause of problems with performance.
