Your Quick Guide To
Performance Testing
Metrics
A metric is a measurement that is gathered during the quality
assurance process. The applications weak spots and key
performance parameters are determined by utilizing the
performance metrics.
These metrics display how the software responds to various
user scenarios and handles user flow in real-time. It helps to
understand the activities clear results and identify areas for
improvement.
Key
Statistics
LoadRunner holds
approximately 85% of
the market share in the
performance testing
sector.
The rapidly growing
performance testing
market held more than
40 billion market share.
What Is The Significance Of
Performance Testing Metrics?
To achieve the best results, it is essential to identify and evaluate the key
metrics because performance testing plays a crucial role in the success of
software applications. It would help if you defined the milestones to
achieve excellence in performance. The parameters that fall under the
milestones need to be measured to estimate the output and compare it to
the anticipated outcomes.
 Metrics aid in project progress tracking.
 They serve as a starting point for the tests.
 The team quality assurance can define the problems and evaluate them
using testing metrics to find a solution.
 You can compare the test results and estimate the impact of code
changes with the
 assistance of metrics tracking.
What Do Performance Testing Metrics Include?
1. Time To Respond
Total time is taken to respond to a request.
2. Time-Lapse
This tells developers how long it takes to receive the first byte
after a request is sent, also known as average latency.
3. Average Time To Load
From a users point of view, a major quality indicator is the
average time it takes to fulfill each request.
4. Peak Response Time
This measures how long it takes to respond to a request. A
peak response time significantly longer than the average could
signify a problem-causing anomaly.
5. Rate Of Error
This figure represents the proportion of all requests in which
errors occur. When the load exceeds capacity, these errors
typically take place.
6. Concurrent Users
This is the most common way to count load—how many people are
logged in. Load size is another name.
7. Per Second Of Requests
The number of inquiries is dealt with.
8. Passed And Failed Transactions
A count of the total number of requests either approved or rejected.
9. Throughput
Throughput, expressed as kilobytes per second indicates the amount of
bandwidth utilized during the test.
10. CPU Consumption
How long does it take for the CPU to process requests?
11. Utilization Of Memory
The amount of memory required to process the request.
Performance testing metrics should be able to test
hypotheses and answer specific questions based on the
business goals, just like any other quality assurance
process.
Metrics can bring about positive changes in this situation.
By estimating performance testing metrics, you can ensure
the best user experience and avoid costly downtime during
peak usage.
