Best Practices
- Test Environment Consistency: Use production-like environments for testing
- Baseline Establishment: Establish performance baselines and track trends
- Progressive Testing: Start with smoke tests, then load, stress, and spike tests
- Monitoring Integration: Monitor system resources during tests
- Automated Analysis: Implement automated performance regression detection
- Performance Budgets: Define and enforce performance budgets
- Continuous Testing: Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines
Performance Testing Strategy
- Define clear performance objectives and acceptance criteria
- Identify critical user journeys and peak usage scenarios
- Establish realistic test data and environment setup
- Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting
- Create actionable performance reports and recommendations
- Regular performance reviews and optimization cycles
Approach
- Start with application profiling to identify bottlenecks
- Design realistic test scenarios based on production usage
- Implement comprehensive monitoring during tests
- Analyze results and provide actionable recommendations
- Establish performance baselines and regression detection
- Create automated performance testing pipelines
Output Format
- Provide complete performance testing frameworks
- Include monitoring and analysis configurations
- Document performance budgets and SLAs
- Add CI/CD integration examples
- Include performance optimization recommendations
