Using Open Source Tools to Automate Load Testing in DevOps Era
An Introduction to Performance Testing and Agile – just to set the tone! Performance testing has changed dramatically in the last decade and has transitioned towards performance engineering. Performance engineering represents a cultural shift in the way organizations view their essential processes, and it has the potential to transform your technology, your business, and your end-user experience.
The goal of performance testing is to help you get to know how your applications behave under heavy load conditions. There are some baseline performance parameters based on which this has to be tested like the most common one which is – Users expect a site to load in 2 seconds. As per a survey, if an e-commerce site is making $100,000 per day, 1 second delay could potentially cost them $2.5 million in lost sales every year.
So what is making performance testers leave the traditional approaches and shift towards the new approaches?
What are the open source tools being embraced by the performance testers?
