Question

Accepted Answer

There are several types of performance testing such as load testing, stress testing, endurance testing, spike testing, and scalability testing.

Load testing: testing the system's ability to handle a specific load
Stress testing: testing the system's ability to handle beyond its capacity
Endurance testing: testing the system's ability to handle a sustained load over a long period of time
Spike testing: testing the system's ability to handle sudden spikes in traffic
Scalability testing: testing the system's ability to handle increasing load by adding resources
I have experience in all types of performance testing
For example, I have conducted load testing for a banking application to ensure it can handle a large number of transactions during peak hours
I have also conducted stress testing for a social media platform to ensure it can handle a sudden surge in user activity
In addition, I have conducted endurance testing for an e-commerce website to ensure it can handle sustained traffic during a sale event
I have conducted spike testing for a news website to ensure it can handle sudden traffic spikes during breaking news
Lastly, I have conducted scalability testing for a cloud-based application to ensure it can handle increasing load by adding more servers
