Performance Testing
In plain terms
Measuring speed, responsiveness, and resource use.
Going deeper
Performance testing assesses how fast and efficiently a system responds under various conditions, guiding optimization. It quantifies responsiveness and throughput.
Under the hood
Umbrella over load, stress, and spike testing; tracks latency percentiles and resource use.
Examples
Latency measurement, throughput tests, profiling, benchmarking, p99 tracking.
Think of it like...
Like timing an athlete's speed and stamina under different conditions.
