The process of performance testing

1. The first step in performance testing is to capture non-functional requirements from stakeholders to define test scope, targets, resources, and deliverables. 2. The second step is to build a test environment that closely approximates production, including necessary load injection capacity and monitoring. 3. The third step is to script use cases, identifying session data, input requirements, and checkpoints for each use case. 4. The fourth step is to build test scenarios defining test type, users, load profiles, and monitoring for each performance test. 5. The fifth step is to execute the performance tests, running dress rehearsals and different test types in a cycle of execution and problem resolution.
