Common Performance Testing Errors
The development chain has several stages, and performance testing that includes load testing / stress testing is amongst the last of the pre-production stages. Some testers /developers could thus feel the urge to rush the results, to start testing in order to launch at the earliest. This could prove to be a costly error since performance testing requires time and patience, given that it is a highly complex process. Inadequate and inaccurate planning, scenarios that do not imitate real production environment and unrealistic load testing could lead to a disastrous launch, loss of time, money and the invaluable resources that went into the testing process. In order to ensure a top quality product and error free testing, it is necessary for testers to remain aware of the common performance testing errors.
