Part 4: JMeter Installation and JMeter Tests with Loadium

Interpreting Test Results on Loadium Previously, we learnt how to install JMeter, how to create a scenario, and how to execute our tests on Loadium. In this part, we will briefly explain how to understand Loadium reporting screens and parameters. Let’s start to interpretation of test results with summary report page. On the summary report page, in addition to the values we saw on the previous page, we can see the values max and min response times, number of errors received, latency and connect time. Connect Time → Time taken to establish TCP connection between the server [...]

Difference Between Agile And Waterfall on Performing Performance Tests At The Optimum Time

Is it better to assess performance during development process or at the end? – Difference between Agile and Waterfall approaches Teams must identify at what point in the development process they will benefit the most from doing performance tests while considering the performance of existing systems or those constructed from the ground up. So, the goal of this post is to answer the question of whether we should start performance testing early on, alongside development (as in the agile approach) or later on (as in the waterfall style). Basically, difference between agile and waterfall approaches on performing performance [...]

10 Suggestions for Choosing the Number of Concurrent Users for Your Test

Do you know how many virtual users should you use for your website or app performance tests? If your answer is “No”, this is the right blog post for you to read. Even if you know Apache JMeter and Gatling, they can't tell you how many concurrent users should be sending requests to the URL you're testing. This is due to the fact that the number of users to run a test is a business and product decision based on past user scenario patterns, future expectations, marketing initiatives, and product requirements. So, if you're a tester, here are a [...]

Why Test Automation is Necessary?

Any company that is developing a software product should perform testing. Testing is an important part of product development, particularly when it comes to ensuring quality. Many small and mid-sized businesses neglect research, despite the fact that it is important for producing a reliable product. It's important to have tests in place, but it's also important to know how to run them. At all times, manual testing should be minimized. Furthermore, test automation enhances overall software development performance and allows for the creation of more robust tools. Manual testing is favored by some firms, but it is not the best [...]
