Not Testing from Outside the Firewall? It'll Come Back to Haunt You Performance testing measures response times, transaction rates, and other time sensitive requirements. The goal of performance testing is to verify that the performance requirements have been achieved. Performance testing is usually executed several times, each using a different "workload" on the system. This article discusses how to validate system performance, find bottlenecks, and tune system performance. |

Software Testing from Scratch Many people in the software testing field did not choose their career but were placed in the position. As a result, very few individuals are fortunate enough to have actually been trained in testing before they started or even after they've been testing for months. The newly appointed tester is left with many questions about how, what, and when to test. This article will outline a straightforward, five-step approach to tackling these issues. |
