Quality Engineering & Testing

Load & performance testing

We simulate real users to show how your application behaves under expected and peak load. You learn where it slows down before your customers do.

Sound familiar?

The challenges this solves

We're launching and expect heavy traffic

We don't know if the site will hold up on launch day.

The app slows down at peak times

Response times climb during busy periods, and we can't pinpoint why.

We can't build a load lab ourselves

We lack the tools and engineers to run realistic load tests in-house.

Capabilities

What we deliver

  • Load, stress, reliability and scalability testing
  • Performance benchmarking
  • Coverage for websites, web apps, desktop, mobile, SAP, reporting and ETL applications
  • Realistic usage scenarios with simulated users who vary actions and session lengths
  • Measurement of response time, throughput, resource utilization, availability, latency and reliability
  • Reusable automated load scripts that reduce manual testing error
  • Commercial and open-source tooling, with load tests customized to your business needs

Systems and tools

  • JMeter
  • LoadRunner
  • NeoLoad
How we work

3 steps, clear deliverables

  1. 01

    Scope

    A dedicated performance engineer sizes the load and designs the test architecture.

    You receive: Load profile and test architecture

  2. 02

    Model usage

    We build usage scenarios with you to simulate how real people use the application.

    You receive: Usage scenarios and test scripts

  3. 03

    Run and measure

    We run load, stress and scalability tests and collect key performance metrics.

    You receive: Performance results and bottleneck findings

FAQ

Questions we hear most

When should we run load testing?

Before a launch with high expected traffic, before known peak periods, and whenever you need to find load-related weaknesses.

Which metrics do you report?

We report response time, throughput, resource utilization, availability, latency and reliability.

Which tools do you use?

We use commercial and open-source tools, including JMeter and LoadRunner, chosen to fit your application.

How is performance testing priced?

We use an on-demand model, so you pay only for the testing you need.

Know your limits before launch day

Tell us about your application and expected traffic. We will design a load test that matches real use.
