Performance and Load Testing can be a standalone service, or best mixed with penetration testing for real value.
Your Software Put Through Its Paces
Our performance testing service helps you optimise your software's performance under various conditions. If your product photos take too long to load, the checkout page times-out during payment or your app grinds to a halt during a busy period, it can be damaging to your brand.

Benefits of performance testing
1 — Identifying Performance Bottlenecks
Performance testing helps in identifying potential bottlenecks or performance issues within an application, system, or infrastructure. By simulating real-world scenarios and user loads, performance tests uncover weaknesses and limitations that may cause performance degradation, such as high response times, resource bottlenecks, or scalability issues.
2 — Ensuring Scalability and Capacity Planning
Performance testing allows our partners to assess the scalability and capacity of their systems. By simulating varying user loads and stress conditions, we help determine the system's ability to handle increased traffic or user demand. This information aids in capacity planning, ensuring that the infrastructure can support anticipated growth without performance degradation.
3 — Enhancing User Experience
Performance testing plays a vital role in ensuring a smooth and satisfactory user experience. By measuring response times, throughput, and system stability, our partners can identify and address performance issues that may impact user satisfaction.
4 — Optimising Resource Utilisation
Performance testing provides insights into the resource utilisation patterns of an application or system. By analysing CPU, memory, disk usage, and network throughput during different load conditions, we can identify resource-intensive areas and optimise resource allocation. This optimisation leads to better system efficiency, reduced infrastructure costs, and improved overall performance.
5 — Supporting Decision-Making and Capacity Optimisation
Performance testing results provide valuable data for decision-making processes. It enables our clients to make informed decisions about system upgrades, infrastructure investments, or architectural changes based on performance metrics and identified bottlenecks.
Common Questions About
Performance Testing

What is software performance testing?
Software performance testing evaluates an application's overall performance, identifying bottlenecks and responsiveness issues. It ensures the application can handle simultaneous users and spikes in demand without crashing.
Why do performance testing on applications hosted in cloud environments?
Performance testing is essential for cloud-hosted applications. Cloud utility computing does not eliminate the need for testing system performance, as throwing more money at utility services may not efficiently solve performance issues and could lead to wasteful spending.
How long will it take to do a performance test?
Performance tests typically take between five to eight days for most commercial applications and infrastructure. For large enterprise applications with frequent development fix deployments and retesting, it may take ten to fifteen days.
