Cigniti Performance Testing – The new performance requirements

HYDERABAD, India - April 10, 2013 - PRLog -- The culmination of relentless efforts, investments, time in corporate commitments boil down to one word – Performance. Be it the ability to run faster, jump higher or dive deeper, performance defines the future.  As more and more technologies are making their way into the human lifestyle, the performance of the applications and IT systems needs to match human ambition and ever increasing benchmarks of comfort levels.

For a generation that has grown used to touch screen smart phones and live video streaming on mobile devices, acceptable levels of performance are blurring from seconds to milliseconds. Performance matters are top priority issues for large enterprises with heavy investments in IT systems and resources apart Startups and SMEs which leverage cloud capabilities to sustain their operations.

The demand for reusable components by the widespread adoption of flexible SOAs and APIs has brought a whole new breed of performance issues. The inevitable tide of Big Data across the IT ecosystem has opened up to new levels of scalability that can accommodate the volume, variety and velocity.

Enterprises which focus Software testing on product release stages might miss out on the big C of performance – Consistency. An opening display of spectacular performance followed by bottlenecks and interrupted UI will not only break the alignment of business logic but also leave an irreparable dent on the credibility of the enterprise.

Simulation of stress, load and peak to test the new age IT systems now demand enormous workloads and workflow patterns while emerging technologies keep presenting newer performance bottlenecks across the networks.  CIOs and COOs seek a long term performance quality assurance roadmap equipped with insightful reports.

The new benchmarks of render response times and server response times demand careful design and development of test frameworks. A meticulous assessment plan has to be charted and automated to ensure continuous testing. To meet the emerging performance requirements, Test frameworks need to be guided by human intellect in terms of the tester’s intelligence, the stakeholder’s requirements and the user interface.
