Stress test - where the number of virtual users generate load that is beyond the "kink" in the Standard Performance Curve so that the system is under abnormal stress. Extended load (Soak) test - execute the performance test for a long period of time to identify resource issues. Scalability test - running the same performance test against the same applications on different target platforms to measure its scalability. Spike test - virtual users are synchronised at key points in a transaction to elucidate defects that result from concurrent usage. Fail over under load - the system is failed while under load to determine if the standby system seamlessley maintains the continuity of business processes. Functional testing under load - Previous successfully executed functional tests can fail when executed under load. Regression test - Re-execution of performance test following a hardware or software upgrade or patch. Network load test - Execution of performance tests where load is injected at strategic network points. Logon test - where large numbers of users attempt to logon. Post-deployment monitoring - regularly re-execute performance test scripts.   Terms & Conditions  |  Site Credits Test Today Limited © 2002-2008    The Test2day logo is a trademark of Test Today Limited.
