Answer / himanshu
Performance tests can be broadly classified in to
Load tests
Stress tests
Endurance tests
Spike tests
Capacity testing
Load test
Load tests are performance tests which are focused on
determining or validating performance characteristics of
the product under test when subjected to workload models
and load volumes anticipated during production operations.
What are the benefits?
Helps
Evaluate the adequacy of a load balancer.
Detecting functionality errors under load.
Determine the scalability of the application OR for
capacity planning purposes as the need may be.
What risks does it address?
How many users can the application handle before “bad
stuff” happens
How much data can my database/file server handle?
Are the network components adequate?
Stress test
Performance tests focused on determining or validating
performance characteristics of the product under test when
subjected to workload models, and load volumes beyond those
anticipated during production operations.
These tests are all about determining under what conditions
an application will fail how it will fail and what
indicators can be monitored to warn of an impending
failure.
What are the benefits?
Helps
Determining if data can be corrupted by over stressing the
system
Estimating how far beyond the target load an application
can go before causing failures and errors in addition to
slowness
Establishing application monitoring triggers to warn of
impending failures
Ensuring that security holes are not opened up by stressful
conditions.
Determining the side effects of common hardware or
supporting application failures.
What risks does it address?
What happens if we underestimated the peak load?
What kind of failures should we plan for?
What indicators should we be looking for to intervene prior
to failure?
Endurance test
A performance test focused on determining or validating
performance characteristics of the product under test when
subjected to workload models and load volumes anticipated
during production operations over an extended period of
time.
What are the benefits?
Helps
Slow memory leaks
Insufficient file storage capacity
Performance degradation as a result of an increased in
stored data
Overnight, automatic virus definition updates on a server
causing performance degradation
What risks does it address?
Will performance be consistent over time?
Are there slow growing problems that we haven’t detected?
Is there external interference that we didn’t account for?
Spike test
A performance test focused on determining or validating
performance characteristics of the product under test when
subjected to workload models and load volumes that
repeatedly increase beyond anticipated production
operations for short periods of time.
What are the benefits?
Helps Identify
Memory leaks
Disk I/O (thrashing)
Slow return to steady – state
What risks does it address?
What happens if we underestimated the peak load?
What kind of failures should we plan for?
What indicators should we be looking for to intervene prior
to failure?
Capacity testing
Capacity testing is related to stress testing .It
determines your server's ultimate failure point. You
perform capacity testing in conjunction with capacity
planning.
You use capacity planning to plan for future growth, such
as an increased user base or increased volume of data. For
example, to accommodate future loads you need to know how
many additional resources (such as CPU, RAM, disk space, or
network bandwidth) are necessary to support future usage
levels.
Capacity testing helps you identify a scaling strategy to
determine whether you should scale up or scale out.
What are the benefits?
Helps Identify
Provide actual data to the capacity planners to validate or
enhance their models and/or predictions.
Conduct various tests to compare capacity planning models
and/or predictions.
Determine current usage and capacity of existing system to
aid in capacity planning.
Provide usage and capacity trends of existing system to aid
in capacity planning.
What risks does it address?
Validate that capacity planning models represent reality.
Ensure capacity planning remains in sync with actual system
usage and growth patterns.

Performance testing - It is the testing process to test the
speed and efficiency of an application.
Load Testing - It is a process to test the application with
the maximum number of user it can support. for example
How many users can use the system simultaneously before it
slows down or fails.
Stress Testing - It test the application with more than
maximum number of users application can support

when will u make update and modify the test object properties in the repository?
You are testing a new feature that includes a builder(wizard)that walks you through the creation of an item.There are 10 configuration checkboxes you can check/uncheck for the item being built.The builder makes you select 3 of these 10 options.You can choose any 3 options. A)How many possible ways could the item in question be created (i.e. how many possible configurations)? Describe the technique you would use to determine this.
What's the difference between Load and Stress testing ?

how will define a bug generally?
Is testing is different in linux platform.please reply me how testing will be implemented on linux platform?

what is the preference when we perform manual testing- either FEATURES or FUNCTIONALITY ?
For any web application, what are the possible login features that should be tested?
Hi everyone, My name is Salil Mishra. I am having 1.7 years of experience in manual testing. But as i m 2008 passout, there are limited position for me in the companies. Please help me out in getting a good job guys..I f you find something then please mail me at salilmishra29@gmail.com
How many times u involved in reviewing testcases
Dear Friends, Hi this is anand. I HAVE 2+ YEAR REAL TIME WORKING IN TESING.want some interview question like real time question which will place in Testing team. in my company no testing team like other software company. Some situation interveiw question. Eg: If Testing team is complete the testing. when the Testlead testing the appliction system testing at that time he found some error. what the testlead will do? a. he will see the testcase --> SRS b. he will see the bug report-->testcase-->SRS c. he will ask the TESTENGINEER PLS REPLY ME
