Modern businesses have to cope with high levels of transaction throughput, and applications that don’t deliver on their promises mean direct losses in revenue. During maintenance and use of applications, a key challenge is to ensure stable response times that do not vary with load. MindTree understands the need for applications to be scalable to withstand enormous load, and perform under severe stress conditions.

MindTree’s performance testing services focus on ensuring that applications or products meet expected performance requirements. Prior to live rollout, we can ensure complete understanding of system performance under load and stress conditions, as well as verification of application infrastructure, to determine scalability with increased load.

Services

MindTree offers the following performance testing services:

Load Testing

Measuring system performance (response time) under growing load conditions.

Endurance Testing

Determining if applications behave consistently over prolonged usage. The aim is to identify memory leaks or other issues that could compromise application performance over extended use.

Reliability Testing

Measuring application performance under stated conditions, for a specified period, and for a specified number of operations.

Scalability Testing

Measuring the scalability of applications with growth in workload – typically the number of concurrent users.

Stress Testing

Determining application behavior under stress conditions. This may involve prolonged execution under high load, with sudden load ‘spikes’. Stress testing aims to break the application under test by overloading its resource usage, and/or taking resources away. Application behavior is observed under these conditions.

Performance Testing: Process

The activities involved in conducting performance testing for varied applications on Client server, Web technologies, Web services, and ERP are detailed below:

Experience

MindTree has provided cutting-edge performance and load testing services for a leading international airline, and helped identify and fix critical memory issues for call management software from the world’s leading customer care solution provider. We have also load-tested multi-tiered credit limit applications for a leading multinational Bank.

MindTree is tool agnostic, and will identify and work with solutions that are best suited for your unique requirements. Our experience with various tools within application testing covers Load Runner, e-Load, Web LOAD, Silk Performer, Rational Performance Tester, QA Load, JMeter, and The Grinder.

Load Runner Execution Process

MindTree’s Load Runner Execution process starts with generating virtual user scripts that drive applications as clients. Load Runner Controller then manages the load tests. Read >>

Sample Metrics

MindTree has always adopted a strong metrics-driven approach. Cross-result and transaction response time graphs are just some of the metrics used in performance testing. Read >>
