Testing Categories
● Code Testing: Code Analysis, Unit Testing
● Integration & Interface: Contract Testing, Interface Testing
● Functional: User Acceptance, Regression Testing
● Non-Functional: Performance Testing, Chaos Engineering
● End-to-end Testing: Comprehensive testing covering all aspects
Performance Metrics
● Load: System performance under expected usage
● Stress: Evaluate system behavior under extreme load conditions
● Endurance: Sustained load testing to identify long-term issues
● Scalability: Measuring performance under growing user/transaction volume
● Spike: Rapidly increasing or decreasing load to assess resilience and behavior
● Volume: Evaluates the impact of handling large amounts of data
Measurement Criteria
● Percentiles: 50th, 90th, 95th, 99th, 99.9th, 100th
● Counts & Averages: Total Transactions, Success, Failures, Response Times, Latency, Connection Time, Bandwidth
● Errors: All errors, prioritize critical
● Resources: CPU usage, Memory consumption, Disk I/O, Network Traffic
Testing Strategies
● Early: Incorporate testing early in the development lifecycle
● After: Testing post-infrastructure changes
● Always: Continuous testing throughout the development process
● Development: Testing integrated into the development workflow
● Infrastructure Changes: Testing following any infrastructure modifications
● Staging: Testing in a staging environment before production
● Major Events: Testing prior to significant system events
● Post-Production: Post-deployment performance validation
● Milestones: Testing at specific project milestones
