Stress Testing
Stress testing helps in determining
the stability of an application or system's availability and
reliability. It also determines bottlenecks under adverse
conditions. Our effective stress test tools take care of adverse
conditions such as limited computational resources, high
concurrency, heavy loads etc.
Our team of professionals helps you
in identifying the bugs related to timing and synchronization,
priority conflicts, problems regarding interlocks, loss of resource
etc. We aim at the proper functioning of your software under stress
conditions.
How Do We Work?
Stress-tests generally comprise of
three areas:
- Performance: Under this, product statistics is
determined.
- Scenario: Here, the exact configuration
required by the customer is recreated. This enables problems to be
detected in a product before it is used by a customer.
- Balancing workload: Under this, the software
is deliberately strained with large workloads. This is done to
determine its stability under stress.
We try to crash the system that is
to be tested by either removing or trying up its resources. Our aim
is to see how effectively the system recovers after it fails. We
take care that the system does not crash or hang all of a sudden
but saves its state and recovers after collapsing. We check if the
failures are affecting the security of the system and if the error
has been reported to the user.
An adverse environment is
deliberately created and maintained in order to evaluate a system
under a stress test. This adverse environment may include:
- Hacking into an application with the purpose of spreading
spam.
- Stretching a system beyond its load limit by overloading it
with various resource intensive applications.
- Sending several useless emails to the server.
Our services include:
- Smarter and faster testing: Our stress testing resources
improve the quality of your application during its development
cycle.
- Quickly determining critical issues: This helps in accelerating
your Time-to-Market by preventing any delays that may be caused by
some problem generally found in the process at a later stage.
Detecting and fixing bugs early involves lesser expenses and
ensures better quality projects.
Our effective stress testing
services help in finding troubles with web services which finally
improve the efficiency of your software product.
