The "performance vs. load vs. stress testing question" is still frequently asked on forums and is commonly blogged about (e.g. <a rel="nofollow" href="www.softwaretestinghelp.com/what-is-performance-testing-load-testing-stress-testing/">this</a>). <br />Very little has changed in the performance testing methodology, but what changed significantly is that many more performance testing tools emerged, targeting simplicity of load testing.<br />One of the frequently overlooked criteria for selecting a tool is the simplicity of comparing multiple performance / load / stress test results. <br />We kept this in mind when designing performance analytics in our tool.<br />Cheers,<br />Vadim Co-founder of <a href="www.stresstimulus.com/" rel="nofollow">StresStimulus load testing tool</a>Vadimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-57427587058642652752013-08-02T09:02:35.536-07:002013-08-02T09:02:35.536-07:00You can try https://loadfocus.com for JMeter Cloud...You can try https://loadfocus.com for JMeter Cloud Load and Performance testing very reliable and with thousands of concurrent usersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-40369032043284910102013-01-23T23:11:32.551-08:002013-01-23T23:11:32.551-08:00Hello Grig,

Also this kind of testing can help functional testers to find functional bugs, that appear only under high load.<br /> I invite you to visit our blog devoted to performance testing in general and using JMeter in particular - http://blazemeter.com/blogDzmitryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398673109757954251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-23823120372426175732012-05-02T08:38:00.628-07:002012-05-02T08:38:00.628-07:00Hi,

But I have to do load testing only on smaller part of it, means a module which is totally in Java and also the calls are using REST API, we have to do only the backend code resting and no UI. This includes db, middleware(communication using REST API and Java) and network.<br />I have planned and also started working with SOAPUI (Groovy Script) which I found to be very useful. But when I searched on Google, I hardly see it in the top list of tools being used for performance or load testing.<br />Can anyone tell me reason for this? <br />And it would be great if anyone can list of tools that can be used for such application.VJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-16649943230408838632010-09-21T16:29:19.407-07:002010-09-21T16:29:19.407-07:00Performance testing seems to me to be much more br...Performance testing seems to me to be much more broad than load testing.

Thanks for all your explanation. It was ...Hi Grig,<br /><br />Thanks for all your explanation. It was really helpful in understanding the performance/Load/Stess testing.<br /><br />Can you please clarify the below scenarios. Iam new to blackbox approach performance testing. Currently I am understanding the HP Loadrunner9.0 tool eval. I was in a process of doing load testing for my application. I am not going to do any tuning for my application as of now. Even if you are not aware of Loadrunner tool, Please provide me the approach for this testing.<br /><br />My concern is, If i want to do load testing for “Sign up” module or one of the business req, How do we do? Since the user id is unique, we can’t enforce load with the same script (single user id) with 50 users concurrently. I assume script will fail in this scenario. So we are going for parameterize the value (user id), If we parameterize, obviously it comes into iteration. So each and every iteration the new value is replaced. In this scenario how come 50 users concurrently perform the “Sign Up” transaction with different user id?<br /><br />Another scenario is Login transaction. If i want to perform load test for login transaction around 50 users concurrently with different name in a same script. We can go for parameterize. But the same doubt comes to my mind. How do we do with different user concurrently with the same script?<br /><br />It would be really great to see some approach to overcome these scenarios.<br /><br />Thanks in Advance<br /><br />Regards<br />Sridhar JUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886307236074956866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-59250721202592342752009-07-10T03:21:17.821-07:002009-07-10T03:21:17.821-07:00I really appreciate this article.Its really worth ...I really appreciate this article.Its really worth reading.The terms are synonyms but different in nature.I would like to share some other tools e.g.Load Runner,Rational Robot as well.Muhammad Naeemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960966090814496108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9238405.post-86802795951474712312009-05-06T19:15:00.000-07:002009-05-06T19:15:00.000-07:00Really well done!
