Presentation abstract

According to a survey of  web application users, 86% websites are inadequate of non functional testing and also there are bugs resides in the application forever, this is been a major concern, particularly in the area of assessing peak load performance capacity.  There is well known interesting theory called “Rule of 8” - It specified that if the load-time of a web page exceeds eight seconds, users are unlikely to wait, or "stick around", for its completion. So “Performance is a "must have" feature”, No matter how rich your application is functionally, if it fails to meet the performance expectations of your customer then the product will be branded a failure. The failure of a mission-critical web application can be costly. SPE will reduce project costs and eliminate project failures due to performance problems. It can also improve the level of service to customers, reduce business costs, help us to use computer resources more efficiently, and improve business competitive position. Performing rigorous performance testing requires not only the knowledge of application/modules, but also one should have knowledge on all type of performance and load testing and should have expertise level to quantify and simulate real user patterns and to define the transaction volumes, significant infrastructure to drive the load, and experience interpreting graphs and turning all these into actionable results to mitigate all performance risk. Software Performance Engineering provides a stern cost-effective approach in managing software systems performance. The goal of performance testing is not to find anomalies, but to eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future regression testing.
