The enterprise payment solutions provider leveraged WebLOAD to test critical Ordering and Claim services, successfully validating throughput of 100 transactions per second with 300 concurrent users while maintaining optimal response times Primary Objective The primary objective of this load testing initiative was to assess the performance of the Ordering and Claim services under simulated loads, validate if they meet the benchmark of 100 transactions per second with 300 virtual users (VU), and leverage WebLOAD's capabilities for load test scripting, execution, and result analysis. Testing Environment The testing environment mirrored the production setup of the Ordering and Claim services to ensure accuracy in results. Virtual users were deployed to simulate concurrent user interactions, with load tests executed in controlled phases to measure system response times, throughput, and resource utilization. Load testing Scenarios Several load scenarios were designed using WebLOAD Console, including: Peak Load Scenario: Simulated a sudden surge in user activity to evaluate system stability and response under stress. Sustained Load Scenario: Maintained a steady load equivalent to 100 transactions per second to assess long-term performance and identify any potential performance degradation over time. Ramp-up Scenario: Gradually increased the number of virtual users to determine the system's capacity threshold and scalability Key Metrics and Results: WebLOAD Analytics provided comprehensive insights into various performance parameters, including: 1. Response Times: Average and peak response times for different types of requests (ordering, claim submissions). 2.... --- - Published: 2024-06-25 - Modified: 2024-12-18 - URL: https://www.radview.com/resources/case-studies/bswift_case_study/ Case Study bswift uses WebLOAD for load testing bswift WebLOAD load testing revolutionizes performance validation for their cloud-based benefits platform. Serving millions of users nationwide, the Chicago-based HR solutions provider transitioned from JMeter to WebLOAD, enabling dynamic load generation across multiple AWS regions while identifying critical infrastructure bottlenecks Challenge Bswift’s primary testing goals was achieving 100% assurance that their infrastructure would perform under peak load. Prior to switching to WebLOAD, we were using JMeter,” says Steve Stonebraker, Performance Optimization Engineer. By switching to WebLOAD, the performance testing team could efficiently utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) to spin up load generators on demand from different geographic locations. “This enabled us to have traffic diversity and freed us from maintaining a complex mix of company owned servers dedicated to load testing. ” Solution With WebLOAD in place, bswift discovered various bottlenecks - both hardware and software – as they continually upgraded their environment. “We learned that specific virtual appliances needed additional resources or licenses and the limits of our various servers. ” Support was another driver. “I have been and continue to be impressed with the level of expertise and responsiveness of the WebLOAD support staff.

If not, it should be. Companies that include performance testing as part of DevOps benefit from faster release cycles, improved user experience, and a product that better satisfies both market and business requirements. Incorporating performance testing into DevOps helps identify performance issues, fix errors and isolate root cause early in the release process. By testing critical APIs and flows at each check-in, you can reduce the number of QA cycles and avoid delays. Here are some best practices to consider when integrating performance testing into your DevOps process: Refine performance success goals as your project evolves – see how the addition of different functions change the speed Use successful tests to establish a baseline for more accurate comparisons Prevent test environment changes from effecting performance metrics – create new baselines after changes, such as adding a new server, to ensure accurate comparisons Use a probing client to accurately measure the response of a single user compared to your performance criteria Ensure multiple concurrent tests are not affecting your results – use separate machines and load generators and make sure concurrently-run tests are not calling the same APIs If you are implementing a DevOps process, following these best practices can be critical to your success. Read here for additional details. To get started, sign up for a demo with one of our performance testing experts and see how WebLOAD makes it easy to incorporate load testing into your DevOps cycle.

In addition to controlling the bandwidth/connection speed as in previous releases, you are able to control upload/download bandwidth, latency/delay, and packet loss. WebLOAD lets you control this kind of emulation at several levels. You can set these numbers to all of your virtual users, specify them for specific load generator/s, control your mix of agendas, or even a specific virtual user. This gives you the ability to simulate different users, each reaching your server from a different network. HTTP Web Services WebLOAD 10. 5 allows you to create Web Services calls created manually via GUI, in addition to the existing recording option, or coding options. Any HTTP method or header is supported. To use this new option, a new building box is added to the IDE toolbox dedicated to HTTP Web Services.

Recording a script First, identify the most common workflows in the application you’re testing. For an existing application, you figure this out by checking server logs and analytics which will reveal the most frequent scenarios. When you are recording, make sure that you test the application in a production-like environment, including factors like SSL, SSO, load balancing and firewalls. This is essential for simulating accurate end-to-end behavior. Record scripts from all of the most common user environments including different browsers and mobile devices. Learn how to record a script with WebLOAD 2. Enhancing a script with correlation and validation Locate and replace all of the dynamic values in the recorded script, such as session-id and security tokens. If these values aren’t regenerated during test execution, most systems will not operate properly. This process is called Correlation and WebLOAD will help you to do it automatically. Make sure you stress the application’s back-end – and not just the cache servers – by replacing static values with parameters that will be automatically defined at run time. Add validation logic to the script to make sure that the results you get under load are consistent. You can use existing logical building blocks from WebLOAD, or create custom validation... --- - Published: 2024-01-05 - Modified: 2024-10-01 - URL: https://www.radview.com/press-releases/ News --- --- ## Posts - Published: 2025-09-26 - Modified: 2025-09-29 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/bank-stress-testing-load-testing-strategies/ In today’s fast-paced financial environment, banks must master stress testing and load testing to ensure both operational stability and regulatory compliance.

Basically, it looks at how the software application behaves when accessed by multiple users at the same time. It is a process that needs ample preparation beforehand, such as planning clear goals, defining use cases, and preparing needed hardware and parameter data. Planning the Test Design Elements Define the goals of the project When it comes to designing a load test, clear project goals are a key element. This involves determining which specific performance metrics you would like to measure. These key performance indicators (KPIs) include such as page time, CPU utilization, and transaction rate. KPIs drive people, hardware and software resources, and project schedules. Depending on those KPIs, other tools or consultants may speed up the process. Additionally, it is crucial to establish a clear stopping point. While pursuing better performance, there is no natural limit to the changes that you can make. To prevent excessive testing, the goals set will also work as an artificial limit. Consider the project time frame It is crucial to determine when the customer needs the results, work backward from that date, and create a plan accordingly. Sometimes there are phase lines where all the resources will need to sync up before moving forward and that needs to be taken into account in the timeline.

There are many areas where you can err and waste time without getting the insights you’re after. Here are five best practices from our performance testing experts. 1 - Set Performance Goals as early as possible Regardless of the metrics or KPIs you use – response time, throughput, or something else - try to set specific, measurable performance goals as early as you can. Not having goals early on means that your testing is a bit undirected. 2 - Have the right ratio between test and production hardware size You can do a capacity test with less than production size hardware. But prod should be no more than three times bigger than the biggest test you ran. It's easy to miss things with limited hardware size. 3- Plan enough time for scripting In the project budget, the hardest thing it is to estimate is how long it takes to get the scripts to work right. You're probably not going to bother to test the easy stuff. The things you're going to test, are the complicated things - and they take longer to get scripted and to get working. Plan extra time for scripting in performance testing. 4 - Run key tests twice While you're running your testing, if you've got a test that's at a key spot at a phase spot, then run it twice. You must understand what normal variations are. It's easy to run a test... --- - Published: 2022-01-16 - Modified: 2024-04-08 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/announcing-webload-12-5/ We are excited to announce the release of WebLOAD 12. 5 which is now generally available.

Out of the dozens of new technologies and approaches that are born every minute, many will vanish by next year, while few will grow until they will dominate the field. This proves to be a challenge for automated testing professionals and newcomers, as it’s difficult for them to know which tools and methods to focus on and what to invest their precious time in. Is the AI trend in test automation tools here to stay? Will Selenium continue to reign supreme? Will Python continue growing? What new languages should be looked at? You get the idea... Now that we’re at the midpoint of 2021, we begin to see emerging trends that come to fruition and familiar ones that stick around and grow bigger and stronger. I’ve mapped and decided to share with you a few directions worth considering that: Don’t go chasing waterfalls. The transition from waterfall testing to Agile testing results from the overall shift to the Agile methodology in software development. This not-so-new approach creates continuous integration and iterations between developers and testers working on the project. Agile is believed to produce products of greater quality due to a less structured but more attentive workflow. Immediate feedback is given throughout the process, and detailed documentation is often replaced with checklists. This straightforward approach is perfect for many testing teams and improves communication and results.

More than 25,000 software companies are using the Selenium framework. Since its first release in 2004, it has been continuously developing to support many languages, platforms, and browsers and assist the widespread use of the Agile methodology. There are probably not too many professionals in the automated testing domain who haven’t used it one way or another. You can find 55K questions (! ! ) about Selenium in StackOverflow says a lot about its popularity. As stated in this Microsoft blog, Selenium has clearly become the industry standard. However, with great power comes great responsibility. And unfortunately, while being extremely popular and flexible, Selenium has some major drawbacks that can dramatically hurt its potential and reduce ROI. Faults that are are too critical to be ignored? ? While every test automation coder with some experience working with Selenium could easily make a list of its faults, not all drawbacks are equal. I will list ‘only’ three of them – but they are harrowing ones if you ask me and could lead to major losses to any company running test automation processes at scale. Flaky tests: Selenium’s possibly most critical fault is the relatively high percentage of flaky tests. Not being sure whether a certain result indicates a real problem is a cause for a lot of pain. No one is happy about a team playing a game of hide-and-seek with bugs that don’t actually exist... --- - Published: 2021-06-22 - Modified: 2024-12-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/the-test-automation-framework-guideline/ We all know by now that the benefits of test automation are clear. Many QA projects start small and gradually gain complexity due to new features flowing in. By then, you find yourself handling a test suite that only increases in terms of the # of tests that you need to run in a given period and the time it takes to complete them. In agile environments, this phenomenon is accelerated. That’s where automation comes in. Still, having a test automation operation doesn’t mean having an optimal one. By the way, this topic gets attention in communities such as Github, StackOverflow, and alike. It is a topic that is interesting for Selenium coders, beginners, or experienced. An --- - Published: 2021-05-20 - Modified: 2024-12-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/in-the-spotlight-the-sla-for-performance-and-load-testing/ Performance Testing has become a cornerstone of software development as it helps create high quality applications with optimal user experience that do not break under load. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are pre-defined goals that allow you to meet company and market performance commitments or standards. Data from various test scenarios that are executed are then compared to the SLA, which then determines if the testing has passed. This helps guarantee optimal performance, stability, and user experience. Let’s take a closer look at the SLA for Performance and Load Testing. Performance testing essentially verifies the performance, responsiveness and stability of an application or website under load. This type of non-functional software testing grades performance using factors like speed, scalability, and reliability. Using the results of performance tests, you can analyze response time, throughput, errors per second, etc. to evaluate the application’s or website’s performance. This kind of testing essentially helps you establish whether your business needs are met, as well as check the functionality of your hardware under normal loads. It’s also important to mention Load Testing, the most common subset of performance testing, which puts the application under a high load to establish the system's maximum capacity without dips in performance or negative user experience. Loading tests aim to determine the system’s behavior with many concurrent users or multiple concurrent transactions. The main goal is to analyze how the application will perform under excessive workloads. Within the different load test scenarios, you can analyze the system’s behavior on different parts... --- - Published: 2021-04-21 - Modified: 2024-04-08 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/radview-acquires-ai-based-test-automation-startup-shield34-a-note-from-eyal-shalom-radview-ceo/ RadView TestAutomation (formerly: Shield34), an AI-based test automation startup with a unique approach for functional testing, is joining RadView!

Agile Performance Testing is a framework that elevates the benefits of both the Agile approach and Performance Testing by testing performance at the start of the Testing Sprint and adding performance testing to the Definition of Done (DoD). Similarly to embedding Functional Testing as part of Agile, this is a Shift-Left philosophy that allows the close inspection of sprint-level performance, something that is not possible with traditional Performance Testing processes. Let’s take a closer look. Performance Testing has made huge strides over the last decade. With digitalization becoming a global trend, businesses need to optimize their performance metrics. There are many variations of Performance Testing that need to be taken into consideration to create robust websites and applications. Here are just a few main types of Performance Testing: Load Testing - Often referred to as the main subset of Performance Testing, this methodology involves the scrutiny of the website, testing how a system behaves with a large number of users and what is the response time received for pages under different scenarios. Performance Engineers can then see how the system behaves with varying numbers of users and what kinds of bottlenecks are created in varying usage scenarios Capacity Testing - This is another type of performance load testing that helps you identify the maximum capacity of users the system can support, while not exceeding a max page time you defined. In other words, capacity Testing exercises the system... --- - Published: 2021-03-17 - Modified: 2024-12-27 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/looking-for-a-cloud-performance-testing-tool-make-sure-to-consider-these-factors/ Cloud based Performance and Load Testing offers many benefits for both the testing and software industry. Conducting a cloud load test helps businesses save precious time and money, as they do not need to purchase physical hardware for performance and load testing purposes. This is especially important when considering the heavy load that needs to be simulated by the load generators for scalability, capacity, volume, soak or stress testing: The Cloud based load generators are allocated on demand for ad-hoc or seasonal needs, so you only pay for the infrastructure when you use it and only then. When searching for a cloud performance testing tool, you may find a number of programs that will allow you to use the cloud in some way. Only a few solutions, however, enable you to make the most of cloud load testing. Thus, when you’re in the market for a cloud testing tool, keep these factors in mind. Ease of Use Test engineers usually conduct their testing under time constraints. Any delays can lead to less time for testers to complete their jobs. If the test engineers were required to deliver results as quickly as possible within the provided timeframe, they would need to work with a tool that is easy to use. Finding such a tool is crucial, as it enables them to get more testing done and have better chances of producing a higher quality cloud application. If you’re on the lookout for “ease of use” features in a cloud testing tool,... --- - Published: 2021-02-17 - Modified: 2024-12-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/executing-selenium-scripts-in-webload/ In this 2nd part of the 'Selenium load testing' series, we explain how to leverage your Selenium scripts to execute browser-level load testing. In the previous posts, we explained the concept of browser-level load testing and the importance of running real browser load tests. In this blog post we explain how to leverage your Selenium scripts to execute browser-level load testing. Related: To learn more about load testing download the eBook - Load Testing Buyer’s Guide. Selenium is a free and open-source automated testing framework for web applications. It is one of the most popular and widely-used browser automation testing tool. Using Selenium helps users validate web applications across different real browsers and platforms. Using Selenium scripts in load testing can serve 2 purposes: Running many real browsers to create true load tests that simulates many concurrent users Running a few real browsers to create toad tests that simulates few concurrent user to measure user experience while creating the massive load with protocol level scripts that simulate many concurrent users To achieve browser level testing, WebLOAD has the ability to execute load tests using Java Selenium scripts. There are a few ways to run Selenium with WebLOAD, the simplest one is to take the Java Selenium scripts and execute them in WebLOAD. In order to that, small additional changes to the script are required to make it interact with WebLOAD. This can be done without breaking the original functionality – the enhanced script can still be executed in a regular test automation environment where the additional changes are ignored.

Server Overloads are system issues that occur due to conditions that exhaust its resources, following which the server fails to handle incoming requests. They are created by sudden spikes in traffic, infrastructure downtime, or malicious Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks (DDoS) attacks. Server Overloads can lead to error codes, performance issues, and a plethora of stability inconsistencies. Lets learn more about this growing pain point and how to tackle it. What is a Server Overload? Server Overloads are system issues that occur due to conditions that exhaust its resources, following which the server fails to handle incoming requests. These issues occur when external conditions such as traffic anomalies or malicious attacks affect incoming request handling. Even if you have never heard about Server Overload, there is a chance that your company has experienced it in the past. As a result of an overload, you receive partial content, see error codes on your screen like 500, 502, 503, as well as experience significant request delays. In the end, your business reputation suffers due to poor user experience leading to considerable money losses. Research by the software company Pingdom has shown that 37% of users abandon websites if loading pages takes too long. Nowadays, even 5 seconds is too long, especially when you are looking at smartphone users. The Server Overload as we know it today occurs when a web server exceeds... --- - Published: 2021-01-20 - Modified: 2024-12-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/webload-the-best-replacement-for-microsofts-visual-studio-load-testing-capabilities/ The world of Web Performance and Load testing is dynamic and changing all the time. New companies enter the world of testing, and others fade out. Performance and Load testing with Visual Studio Enterprise and Azure DevOps is one example of a load testing solution that is fading out. While executing Web Performance and Load Tests via Visual Studio Enterprise and Azure DevOps (formerly known as VSTS) used to be a good option, Microsoft recently published that Visual Studio 2019 will be the last version of Visual Studio with load testing functionality. In addition to that, the cloud-based load testing service of Microsoft is also deprecated. This means that the Cloud load testing (CLT) functionality in Azure DevOps will soon be not available. As a result, Microsoft urges customers to move to alternative load testing tools. In addition to that, in its documentation and product resources re Load Testing with Visual Studio Enterprise and Azure DevOps, Microsoft has been putting warnings to highlight these points similar to the one here and below re Visual Studio Enterprise load testing and below it and here re Azure DevOps cloud-based load testing. "(! ) Note: Web performance and load test functionality is deprecated. Visual Studio 2019 is the last version where web performance and load testing will be available.

This post will focus on the enhanced combination of SLA definition - the combination between client and server measurements in SLA. In this simple example, an application with 2 DB servers that both should not reach 50% CPU with any load size. In this case the conditions are: DB1 cpu > 50 OR DB2 cpu > 50 If one of the conditions is met, an SLA Alert will be sent The above is a simplified example, to this example can be added memory consumption limitation, disk caching, IO, or any other performance measurement collected throughout a test. WebLOAD allows to define SLA rules with ANY measurement - server side or client side. In another example, server measurement and client measurements are combined into one rule. These alerts are more powerful and provide much more information to the user. Microsoft recommends that the “Memory\% Committed Bytes in Use” indicates low memory when it is above 80%. It’s not expected to be that high when the load size is very low. If that happens a red flag should be raised. In this case the conditions are: Memory\% Committed Bytes in Use > 80 AND Load size < 50 If both conditions are met, an SLA Alert will be sent. In this third example, high transaction time and high server CPU is normal as... --- - Published: 2020-10-26 - Modified: 2024-12-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/black-friday-2020/ Black Friday is just around the corner followed by Cyber Monday and the holiday season. This period promises to bring an insane rush of web traffic and total spend to your site. In fact, according to Adobe Analytics last year BlackFriday online sales grew 20% to $7. 4B and CyberMonday sales alone soared to $9. 4B, up 19. 7% from 2018 with total revenues of US online retail sales for Cyber Week of $35B! Globally, customers had spent more than $40 billion during the 24 hours, according to data from Salesforce. The crucial question here is then, is your website ready for the heavy web traffic load and for the uncontrollable traffic spikes for the most important day in e-commerce? Is there a risk that the site will not perform or even crash under such an extreme traffic load? Source: ReadyCloud July, 2020 The ramifications of not performing can be dire. The risk is even higher during the “golden hours of retail”. These 4 hours drive 30 percent of all Cyber Monday, as shoppers hit buy before deals run out - that is double the average traffic to the already insane traffic! Not only that, during the peak hour alone (11:00 p. m. ET- 12 a. m. ET), consumers spent $11 million on average every minute! What about the effect of COVID-19?

WebLOAD helps to define SLA rules via the ‘SLA Manager’. To understand this, here are a few examples. Example 1 – simple scenario ‘Buy Book’ Transaction response time should not be higher than 3 seconds. This is the simplest and well-known example. The user would like to make sure that a certain transaction is not higher than a predefined value, unconditionally. In this case, a new SLA is defined, with only one condition: Buy Book Time > 3. Whenever this condition is met, an SLA Alert is received. The following example shows how to define it using WebLOAD’s ‘SLA Manager’. Example 2 – Flexible scenario With more flexibility, for example, if the load size is 1000 users and above it allows a response time of up to 5 seconds. An alert would be delivered on the following conditions: Response higher than 5 seconds. Response between 3 and 5 seconds when the load size is less than 1000 users. In order to achieve this, 2 different SLAs are needed to be created: Server side performance measurements and SLA’s WebLOAD collects server performance measurements. When defining the SLA, in addition to Transactions, pages, and any other client-side measurement, server-side performance measurements, such as cpu, memory and others can be added too. This powerful tool can alert during a test execution and can indicate server issues that... --- - Published: 2019-04-04 - Modified: 2024-04-08 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/sla-and-its-connection-to-load-testing/ SLA (Service Level Agreement) or SLM (Service Level Management) are well known in the APM/monitoring products industry. Service providers are committed to a certain level of performance and availability, and as so, they need to make sure that the service they provide, works accordingly. Professional APM (“Application Performance Measurements”) products supply such a module that calculates the SLA’s on an ongoing basis. Service providers SLA’s may include several terms, such as, general or specific performance measurement, errors percentages, system uptime, MTTR and others. SLA’s in Load Testing In monitoring products all issues matter, but in load testing not every term in SLA is relevant when testing the system. In load testing for example, MTTR has no effect on the results, but when it comes to errors, even if the SLA allows 99. 99% when you load test it, you expect 100% error free. When coming to measure performance and availability of pages, the measurement might vary for several reasons, such as how general the agreement is and what pages are included, specification of pages, different definitions per request size, or per user. With such a variety, its critical to define the SLA’s easily, simple and trackable. WebLOAD’s advanced SLA Manager WebLOAD’s advanced SLA Manager allows to control and manage all the SLA’s, with the ability to define as many SLAs as needed with a specified name, so they are tracked easily, and use any measurement WebLOAD collects without any limitation. This flexibility when defining the conditions between several measurements and... --- - Published: 2019-03-14 - Modified: 2024-02-13 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/browser-level-load-testing-vs-functional-testing/ In the previous posts, we discussed the emerging trend of Browser Level load testing and compared it to Protocol Level load. One of the biggest motivations for preferring Browser Level load is reusing scripts. With the burden of script maintenance in mind, no wonder that the idea of merging two stacks of scripts for performance and for functional testing into one is highly appealing. Now that there are Performance Testing tools that can run Browser Level Load using Selenium, is Performance Testing just letting the performance tool replay the same Selenium script used for functional testing in load? Well, not quite. There are a few important differences between Functional and Performance testing. some steps are required in order to fit the script for both purposes: Measuring End-User Performance In high level, Performance testing is generating load and collecting performance metrics. Most tools can collect general metrics in protocol level and high-end tools can collect server metrics as well but collecting end user metrics requires some intervention. Pure Selenium does not measure performance. Some tools have ways to extract these, but this sometimes requires changes in the script itself. In addition, the best way to measure the end-user experience is by defining Transactions. A transaction represents a user flow, with a clear start and end on which the tools can collect different timing metrics on each run and perform analysis over it. Transactions are irrelevant for functional testing and would not appear in a functional testing script. Different Purpose of Validating... --- - Published: 2019-03-06 - Modified: 2024-08-15 - URL: https://www.radview.com/blog/browser-level-performance-testing/ Traditionally, load testing tools create load in the protocol level. They emulated the traffic and not a full browser. This fact has several good reasons: Conceptually - Load testing measures the response of the servers to load. It doesn’t matter what the client does. Scale - Executing in protocol level is far more efficient. It creates the maximum load on servers by generating the requests only, without the extremely high overhead of running thousands of browsers. Stability - In many cases, the protocol level is much more stable than the application. While the UI is changing according to usability needs, the server API’s are typically much more stable. Architecture - While in the older architecture, full pages were retrieved and much of the application logic was processed in the server, modern web application architecture are based on a thick client applications, either mobile or JavaScript and these application make API calls to the servers. The above reasons are important, but they have a few drawbacks: The protocol/API level is tough to understand, and usually requires technical skills and familiarity with the application implementation details that some team members might not have. It is difficult to emulate exactly the same requests that a real browser would create in real time. Emulating the protocol level may be very similar, but not 100% identical. Only running a real browser gives the confidence that traffic to the application is emulated exactly like it would be created by real users.

In recent years, the demand for faster deliveries without compromising quality has made automated testing a basic requirement in every software project, making it more and more dominant in the testing activity. In the past, the end to end tests were conducted only towards the end of a release at the stabilization phase, after most of the development was done. With the adoption of agile methodologies, the software is kept stable throughout the development phase and testing has become part of the development phase, without introducing long stabilization cycles at the end. The introduction of continuous integration and continuous delivery has created the need to continuously test the software to validate that it is fully functional after each change so it can safely be pushed to production. All of this cannot be achieved without most of the testing activity being done automatically. With the growing needs for automation, new practices and technologies are emerging. In this blog we will describe some of the latest trends, needs and characteristics of modern automation testing tools. Automation as part of Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) Pipeline Once having proper automation tests, they play a significant role in the development cycles and dev pipeline and are executed after the unit tests.

The digital world user experience isn’t very different, and includes besides traditional product user experiences, specific digital UX, such as website design, navigation, page download times and others. In today’s industry of rapidly growing interfaces, UX design has become increasingly important, and include business critical systems, that need to stand in growing customer needs. When developing web application, the users experience needs to be in the developers mind all the time, making sure that any development change in the application will not affect the users experience. When testing the performance of an application you need to make sure to consider the following characteristics: Executing from real locations: A user in New York will not experience the application the same way as a user in Tokyo, and for this, it’s important to understand were most of the users are from, what are the conditions in those places and how that effects the user. Executing with real devices: Understanding mobile users’ behavior and what effects their experience is very important. In order to really measure it, it needs to be tested with real devices. Only then, the measurements are correct, and the application behavior is known. Executing with real browsers with real network speed: Not all users work with the same speed.

If you start too fast, without paying attention to the path, you might find yourself in the cat’s mouth... It’s the same with load testing! Speed is important in load testing, but correct load testing is all about choosing the correct path, making sure you get to the finish line. When choosing the “Wrong path”, you use a faulty script, receive the wrong analysis and are sure everything is OK, happily, with confidence, going on live only to find your application crashed! When choosing the “Long path”, you use a faulty script, receive an accurate analysis, understanding that your script isn’t correct, and starting all over again from the beginning, until you use the correct script that will bring you to the correct result... wasting lots of time...

While different symptoms of the failure such as a slow e-commerce website, stuck credit card system, pages with errors, the root cause is constant: insufficient website performance testing. With these 5 recommendations, you can assure your E- commerce website will work well, and make sure your customers stay happy. 1. Even with the best infrastructure, always include performance testing in you plans Having confidence in the strength of your infrastructure using a powerful cloud infrastructure with large machines is important but may lead to overconfidence and the assumption that the architecture on its own provides immunity from performance disasters. Misconfigurations, application problems, and other issues may lead to unexpected performance degradation – even when running the most robust enterprise infrastructure. Always include performance testing in you plans, even when you have the utmost confidence in the strength of your infrastructure. Even a giant as Amazon, the world’s largest cloud computing provider, crashed on Amazon prime day 2018. Even with the best resources, you aren’t immune to website failures. 2. Plan for the best-case scenario The worst-case scenario for your performance testing is the best-case scenario for your business.

Performance testing in software is a critical process used to evaluate the speed, responsiveness, and stability of an application under various conditions. It includes a range of performance testing solutions designed to identify and mitigate performance bottlenecks. Performance testing ensures that software applications can handle expected user loads and function smoothly in real-world scenarios. When is Performance Testing Done? Performance testing isn’t something you do just once—it’s a recurring process that happens at key stages throughout the development lifecycle, from the initial planning all the way to post-deployment and beyond. Now, let’s break down exactly when and why it matters at each step. Early Stages (Planning Phase) – The Preemptive Strike Honestly, no one likes to think about performance when they're brainstorming features or creating user stories. But here’s the thing: performance targets should be baked in from the start. If you don’t set performance goals during the planning stage, you’re asking for trouble later. So, while you're gathering requirements and dreaming up all... --- - Published: 2024-06-20 - Modified: 2024-12-30 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-platform-as-a-service/ Platform as a Service Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Website Stress Testing Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a cloud-based environment where developers can build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. This abstraction allows developers to focus on writing code and innovating rather than handling server maintenance, storage, or network configuration. However, to ensure these applications perform reliably under various loads, stress testing is essential. Stress testing simulates extreme conditions by placing substantial demands on a website or application to evaluate how it responds, thereby uncovering potential bottlenecks or points of failure before they affect real users. Importance of Stress Testing PaaS Applications When deploying applications on a PaaS, it’s critical to understand how the platform handles sudden spikes in traffic and high concurrency levels. Stress testing helps developers and IT teams assess the robustness and scalability of their applications running on PaaS. This is particularly important for applications that anticipate fluctuating traffic patterns, such as e- commerce platforms during sales events, financial services during trading peaks, or educational portals during enrollment periods. By simulating hundreds to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, stress testing reveals how well the PaaS environment can scale and maintain performance, ensuring the end-user experience remains unaffected during high- demand scenarios. Real-World Applications and Stress Testing with WebLOAD WebLOAD is a powerful tool used to perform comprehensive stress testing on various types of applications, including those hosted on PaaS. E-commerce sites, financial applications, educational systems, and other critical services rely on WebLOAD to ensure... --- - Published: 2024-06-20 - Modified: 2024-11-03 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-context-switch/ Context Switch Understanding Context Switch in Performance Testing In performance testing, context switching refers to the process where the CPU switches from one process or thread to another. This is a fundamental operation in multitasking environments, allowing multiple processes to share a single CPU resource effectively. However, context switching can introduce performance overhead, which, if not managed properly, can significantly impact the performance and responsiveness of an application. Understanding and measuring the frequency and duration of context switches is crucial in performance testing as it helps identify potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the system. Impact on Application Performance Frequent context switches can degrade application performance due to the overhead associated with saving and loading the state of processes. Each context switch involves storing the state of the current process and loading the state of the next process to be executed. This overhead can lead to increased CPU usage and reduced throughput, especially in systems with high levels of concurrency. In performance testing, it is essential to monitor context switching to ensure that the system can handle multiple processes efficiently without excessive switching, which can slow down the overall performance. Mitigation Strategies in Performance Testing To mitigate the impact of context switching on application performance, performance testers can employ several strategies. One effective approach is optimizing the application's code to reduce the number of context switches by minimizing the use of heavy multitasking where possible. Another strategy is to adjust the system’s scheduling policies and configurations to favor fewer, longer-running tasks rather than... --- - Published: 2024-06-20 - Modified: 2024-11-03 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-page-fault/ Page Faults Understanding Page Faults in Performance Testing Page faults occur when a program tries to access a portion of memory that is not currently mapped to the physical memory, triggering an interrupt to retrieve the data from a slower storage medium like a hard disk or SSD. In performance testing, page faults are significant because they indicate how efficiently a system handles memory management and data retrieval. When a page fault occurs, the system must pause the current process, fetch the required data from secondary storage, and then resume execution. This process can introduce delays, impacting the overall performance and responsiveness of an application. Impact on Application Performance Page faults can severely affect application performance, especially in memory-intensive applications. When page faults are frequent, they lead to increased latency as the system spends more time retrieving data from slower storage. This can result in longer response times, reduced throughput, and overall sluggish performance. In performance testing, it's essential to monitor the rate of page faults to understand how the application and underlying system handle memory access patterns. High rates of page faults can signal the need for optimization, either through better memory allocation strategies or by increasing the physical memory available to the application. Mitigation Strategies in Performance Testing To mitigate the impact of page faults on application performance, performance testers can implement several strategies. One approach is to optimize the application's memory usage, ensuring that frequently accessed data is kept in physical memory as much as possible. This can be... --- - Published: 2023-12-21 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-continuous-testing/ Continuous Testing Continuous testing is when automated tests are executed in a delivery pipeline, allowing for easy and quick updates on the business risks of the release of software. Test automation adapted to suit constantly increasing complexity of present day application delivery, is continuous testing. The introduction of continuous testing was made to reduce the amount of time taken to provide feedback to developers. Rigid development processes make it tedious to make new changes and deploy any new features. Continuous Testing key points: The primary goal of continuous testing is to assess the coverage of business risk by detecting and reporting issues on time. It instantly provides insight on how risky it is to proceed further along the delivery pipeline at any point. Continuous testing sets up a safety net for user experience in processes that develop rapidly, so that software failures are avoided in production. It ensures that testing is embedded inside the development process rather than being tackled at the end. There is seamless integration of continuous testing in the software delivery pipeline as well as the DevOps toolchain. It must have valid test data for every test run and a completely stable test environment. Be it “shift left” approach where early testing is added, or the “shift right” approach where user behaviour, performance, business, and security metrics are rigorously monitored, continuous testing supports everything. Continuous testing executes test sets at the correct stages of the delivery pipeline, ensuring that there are no bottlenecks created. Each and every stage in... --- - Published: 2023-12-21 - Modified: 2025-03-05 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-selenium-framework/ Selenium Framework Selenium Framework is a collection of automation testing tools that can run and rerun tests with various kinds of interactions on a target browser, all without any sort of manual inputs. Why is it helpful? With Selenium Framework, there is no need for repetitive manual testing, which takes a lot of time and work. Being quick and reliable, it helps businesses save on costs as well. Where is it popular? Computer Software companies primarily use it, second only to Information technology and services. Staffing and Recruiting industries, Hospitals and Healthcare, Financial Services, etc. , also extensively use the Selenium automation testing framework. Types of Selenium Framework (and when to use them) Data-driven This type of Selenium Framework depends on various sets of data imported into the testing tool as Excel sheets. The data is kept separately because if the input data given to the framework is huge, it’s tough to change these values on the script every time the test is conducted. Also, by keeping the data separate, you can run the same test multiple times with different inputs. Keyword-driven In order to avoid repetition of some parts of the code, methods or operations are not written in the script but written separately in an external file. These methods are then called using keywords. You must use a keyword-driven framework when several functionalities need to be tested. Thus, you can use the keywords to call methods for each specific operation. Hybrid-driven This is a combination of keyword-driven and data-driven selenium... --- - Published: 2023-12-21 - Modified: 2024-12-30 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-test-maintenance-in-test-automation/ Test Automation maintenance In test automation, when applications undergo changes, they may break existing tests. For instance, if a UI design update makes the login button appear on a different part of the screen, the old test may no longer be relevant. Hence, it will fail, even when the functionality of the login button is working fine. In order to avoid this, tests are constantly being rewritten or updated, and this process is called test maintenance. Test maintenance is an unavoidable task, unless your test application never changes at all. Whether you need to validate the working of new features or ensure that the bugs that are fixed do not resurface, you will have to put in a little bit of time and effort to maintain your test automation. What are the Different Types of Test Maintenance? There are two types of test maintenance. The first category is of the tests that are working but start to fail. The failure could be due to software defects, unforeseen side effects, or changes in behavior of the system. You would have to fix the code, update tests, or both, in order to maintain these tests. The second category deals with the tools involved in test automation. The automation tools require support. If a certain tool or API is changed, multiple changes will have to be made in the test and the application. Sometimes, even the developers and tests would need to be trained on the updates or new tools. How to Reduce Test Maintenance?

Introduction In the realm of software development, quality is paramount. It's the difference between a product that thrives and one that fails. But how do we ensure quality? Enter QA testing. QA, or Quality Assurance, testing is a systematic process. It checks if a product meets specified requirements and identifies any defects before the product reaches the end-user. In this article, we'll delve into the world of QA testing. We'll explore its importance, the role of a QA tester, and the different types of QA testing. We'll also distinguish between quality assurance and quality control. By the end, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of QA testing and its significance in delivering flawless software products. Introduction to QA Testing Quality Assurance (QA) testing is not just a single task. It is a comprehensive process in software development. QA testing encompasses planning, designing, and executing tests. These activities ensure that software is free from defects. The heart of QA testing lies in its proactive approach. Identifying potential issues early on can save significant time and resources. Testing aims to uncover defects before the software reaches the user. This reduces risk and enhances user satisfaction. Different types of QA testing are used depending on the software's requirements. Each type serves a specific purpose. Manual and automated testing are the two primary categories. Performance testing is critical in assessing speed and stability. Security testing focuses on protecting data and resources. The QA process is integral to the software development lifecycle. From the initial planning... --- - Published: 2023-12-21 - Modified: 2025-03-05 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-saas-testing/ SaaS Testing SaaS, or Software as a Service Testing, is nothing but the method of using different validation activities to ensure that the quality of the software that is being developed is maintained. SaaS applications are those that run on the cloud rather than on hardware within the organization. What makes SaaS testing different from traditional testing? The faster delivery makes quality assurance a factor of concern. The components of SaaS applications, which are non-configurable and configurable, can only be dealt with a good amount of business and domain knowledge. In order for users to have access to the benefits of the application at all times, SaaS application testers need to perform comprehensive tests. Automatic deployment, execution, and validation of the applications must be supported by the test environment. SaaS Testing Methodology As it is different from traditional applications and programs and works through a web interface on a cloud environment, the SaaS testing process involves testing with respect to specific, relevant, and on-demand web interfaces or platforms. Performance Testing This involves testing the application in different chunks, that is, by dividing the application into multiple modules. The expected and actual throughputs are then compared and the bottlenecks are figured out. This is usually done via a checklist that aims to keep the speed, stability, and responsiveness in control. Security Testing Although security is a detail that often goes overlooked, it is most important in case of a SaaS application. Any flaw in security could prove to be very harmful in such... --- - Published: 2023-12-21 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-root-cause-analysis-testing/ Root Cause Analysis Root cause analysis is a well-defined process used to find the root cause of any issue in a Software Project. As long as we don’t know the root cause of a problem, we will have to keep coming up with ways to perform fixes on the symptoms for damage control. When we figure out the root cause, we can directly fix it and put it all behind us once for all. Different Types of Issues Human These errors are human-made and can occur because the people involved in work are not skilled enough for the role. It can also occur when instructions are not duly followed or an unnecessary operation is performed. Organization Issues can sometimes be caused due to improper decision making processes set up in the organization. For instance, the team lead may have given vague instructions to the members of the team or the wrong person was chosen for a task. Even matters like lack of adequate tools for quality assessment come under this category. Physical The failure of any physical component leads to these errors. The constant restarting of a computer, the server ceasing to boot up, or strange noises coming from the system are examples of a physical failure. Benefits of Performing a Root Cause Analysis Finding the root cause will allow us to prevent the same problem from recurring in the future In the long run, the number of defects that are reported go down significantly. The time and cost of development reduces The... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-05 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-automated-ui-testing/ Automated UI Testing The user interface is the part of the application that interacts with end-users, and UI testing is the process that ensures that this interface is working as intended. Every small bit of logic, the features, and the flow of actions for various operations have to be thoroughly checked. From the clicking of a button to navigation options and entering values into data fields, every single thing plays an important role when it comes to human interaction. UI Automated testing does this process with an automation tool. The test scripts, rather than the testers themselves, check the functionality of every field and every click. What can UI Automated Tests do? The simulation and testing of any application’s interaction with consumers. Automation of all the testing activities for the service or application that is under test. Integration of all UI tests in the process of application development. Submission of test results and generation of reports with the said application package. Why should one use Automated UI Tests? Saves Time There is no doubt that manual testing is very time-consuming and can not keep up with the pace of development processes today. Automated Testing works in a fraction of that time. Minimizes Cost Manual tests definitely need many resources and are therefore costly. Automated tests only need you to code the test scripts, and hence require lesser resources. High Accuracy Repetitive tasks when performed by humans are prone to manual errors. Automation leaves much less room for error any day. Large scale When... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-non-functional-testing/ Non-Functional Testing The testing category that deals with how the system operates rather than the specific behavior of the system is called non-functional testing. Due to a lot of overlapping in the scopes of various non-functional requirements, the names of non-functional tests are often used interchangeably. Types of Non-Functional Testing Here are a few kinds of non-functional testing: Compliance testing Check whether your application is following the technical standards of the regulatory body governing its use. Either the producer of a product or service or an independent body accredited for the same can do this assessment. Certification sometimes accompanies compliance testing. Documentation testing This testing ensures that all the necessary documents are available for reference. The documentation must consist of knowledge about how to use the application and the information of all the improvements or changes made since it was first rolled out. The specifications of test cases, plans, test procedures, reports, and logs must also be documented. Documentation testing checks details as small as spelling and grammatical errors. Endurance testing Testing a system when subjected to a typical production load for a prolonged time period is called soak or endurance testing. This method identifies problems such as memory leaks that can occur in the long run of an application. Load testing To understand the system’s performance under normal conditions, we increase the load and look for the threshold that gives a good performance. Load testing is highly relevant for systems with multiple concurrent users. It is essential to find performance bottlenecks... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-05 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/api-testing/ API Testing What is API Testing? API testing is a type of testing that evaluates the ability of the developed APIs to provide the appropriate level of reliability, performance, and security for an application. API testing is considered one of the most challenging types of software testing. Since Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are based on protocols and standards that your team might not be familiar with, testing them is a complicated task. As opposed to unit testing that is usually executed by a development team, API testing requires a separate QA specialist team. How is API testing used? How to ensure that the Application Programming Interface provides functionality, reliability, performance, and security for your application? Here is a quick checklist for your convenience: Define API testing requirements. Before you can run test cases, you need to document the requirements such as the purpose of the particular API, integrations it supports, API features, etc. Configure database and server. Apply the list of requirements to set up a test environment including database and server configuration to meet the API testing requirements. Involve application data. Integrate application data with the API tests to evaluate how well the API functions. Choose the testing type. After establishing the requirements for the tests as well as the appropriate environment, decide which criteria you would like to test first. Through various API tests, you will discover missing functionalities, poor error handling procedures, multi-threaded issues, as well as unacceptable levels of reliability, security, performance, and functionality. Here are the most... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-05 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-ui-testing/ UI Testing UI testing or user interface testing is a crucial part of the blueprint development process of the test. Any product or application is made use of by the end-user, and the user interface is what they interact with while using the product. Therefore, it is vital to test the visual elements of your product and validate that they meet the standards required. Factors affecting User Interface Ensuring correct data types, field width limits, valid menu items, the correct type of navigation buttons, etc. , are things that you verify in user interface testing. Improvements that can be made with respect to the user interface could be to show progress bars, enable type-ahead in lists and headers in tables. Features like logging of errors, proper functionality of shortcuts is proper, or the appearance of Confirm button every time users want to delete or save an item go a long way in improving your user interface. The following are the most commonly tested attributes in user interface testing. Visual Design The aesthetic appeal of the application, like the color schemes, layouts, fonts, and images used on the interface, comes into this category. Be it menus, radio buttons, checkboxes, colors, or fonts, every element plays a role in the look and feel of your user interface. Having a good visual design for your website is like having a nice and friendly receptionist at your office. Functionality To state the obvious, your website must perform its intended functions.

When a script stops running due to the absence of an expected object, self-healing automation provides a better understanding of the options. Instead of completely shutting the process down, it examines and evaluates all available objects’ properties and provides weighted scores to all similar objects. Self-healing can sweep, analyze, and pick from among ten different objects in less than 50 milliseconds. How Does it do this? The function of auto-healing in test automation platforms is to identify the changes in objects or elements that cause a test script to break, study the testing data, arrive at the best match for correction, and then apply that fix before continuing to run the test. This sophisticated “learn and adapt” process is possible due to the progression in Natural language processing and Machine Learning technologies. When tests are being run, the self-healing test automation tools scan the user interface of the application for any objects that may be present. These objects are then compared to the previously generated application model. It observes the changes made and adapts the tests accordingly. Why is auto-healing needed? Auto-healing increases the reliability of the test, reduces the time and effort put in maintenance, and also improves the ease of testing interfaces. The core reason behind most test failures is that, while the user interface is changed, the... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2024-12-30 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-sla-in-software-testing/ Software Testing SLA An SLA or Service Level Agreement is a contract between a software provider and a customer about the scope of work during the software testing process. It is to set the expectations and come to a consensus between a customer and provider. Usually, an SLA consists of: Overall service description Definition of the testing metrics Description of the review process Frequency of review process Termination of the agreement process Furthermore, the agreement helps build a certain amount of trust between the two parties and other stakeholders and can be referred to at any point if the scope of work comes into question. A good SLA should help the development team understand the overall software’s health while showcasing how the tiny nuances affect the application. Some of the metrics mentioned in an SLA for software testing are as follows: Number of defects / Number of test runs Average time for a test run Total hits per run Average hits per run Number of hits found in production There are SLAs written for other aspects of IT besides merely software testing or quality assurance. Here are a few sections you need to focus on to write a good Service Level Agreement: Engagement This section allows you to give your customers insight into your process. For example, you describe the types of tools you’d use, the process you’ll follow, what ways you’ll support the team, etc. The idea is to depict how quality is your number one priority, how you’d leverage different observation,... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-02-27 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/mttr/ MTTR Fault and Failure Metrics are becoming essential parameters for performance testing, load testing, and other kinds of non-functional software testing. The main goal of measuring and tracking these metrics is to create robust software components that can maintain high-performance levels even under heavy traffic or network fluctuations. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is one of the most important Faults and Failure Metrics today. Furthermore, developers and IT teams are interested in measuring software reliability with Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF). The MTBF is essentially the sum of the aforementioned MTTR and Mean to Failure (MTTF), which is essentially the difference of time between two consecutive failures. This is the benchmark for reducing the number of failures and improving incident management. MTBF = MTTF + MTTR By calculating and monitoring these metrics, companies can improve repair times, reduce lifecycle costs, and eliminate unplanned downtime. Reliability – This basically refers to the probability that a software component will perform its intended function without failure for a pre-defined time period. This quality is also closely related to design and coding. Fault and Failure Metrics that have been mentioned earlier in this page are often used to measure and predict component and system reliability. Maintainability – This describes the ease with which a system can be fixed and restored to full operation following a failure. Maintainability depends on a host of factors, including the product’s quality, resources and staffing, and the efficiency of repair procedures.

Been stuck at the unit testing phase of your module due to the inescapable dependencies? Mock Testing provides you the ability to isolate and test your code without any interference of the dependencies and other variables like network issues and traffic fluctuations. In simple words, in mock testing, we replace the dependent objects with mock objects. These mock objects simulate or ‘mock’ the behavior of real objects and exhibit the exact characteristics of the authentic ones. The main goal of mock testing is to centralize the focus on the testing without being concerned about the dependencies. Let’s take an example- You have a web service that makes a POST request to update or store new entries in the API server every time you hit submit on a form. We do not need to store unnecessary test data in the server each time we run a test. Mock testing allows the user to replace the service with a mock object to validate the functionality without storing redundant information. Benefits of Mock Tests The main advantages of Mock Tests are Isolation, Development and Test Speed, and more efficient Load Testing. Let’s take a closer look at these benefits. Isolation The advantage of mock object usage is that you can easily isolate the dependencies which allows you to manage the test in a limiting span. This way if a test... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-cloud-testing/ Cloud Testing Cloud testing is one of the most prominent types of software testing that utilizes the cloud to imitate realistic user traffic. The tests are performed in the cloud computing test environment and are meant to validate the software’s performance, scalability, security, and reliability. What makes cloud-based testing so popular is the virtually unlimited infrastructure that allows testers to scale up and down based on the load. But what is cloud computing? Cloud computing is a platform based on the internet and remotely delivers hardware, software, and other computing services. There are three models of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Unlike traditional on-premise types of testing, cloud testing solves the problems of a limited budget, tight schedules, test reusability, as well as geographical issues. Cloud testing has the great benefit of quickly and cost-effectively spinning up on-demand load generators for Load Testing. Running tests in the cloud environment allows companies to take advantage of bottomless storage, cut testing time, and provide cost-effective products. What kinds of tests can you run in the cloud, and what are the benefits? What is Cloud Testing? Specialists distinguish between four main types of cloud testing. Testing of the cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) application vendors and cloud providers are especially interested in testing the cloud itself to make sure it works well as a whole entity. Testing within the cloud Similar to testing the cloud, this type of testing is carried... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-02-27 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-canary-testing/ What is Canary Testing What is Canary Testing? Key Benefits for Modern Software Development In the realm of software development, canary testing is a crucial concept. It's a strategy that helps mitigate risk when introducing new software versions. But what exactly is canary testing? This article aims to demystify the concept. We'll delve into its origins, its process, and how it compares to other testing methods. We'll also explore the key benefits of canary testing. These include risk reduction, valuable user feedback, and improved reliability. Finally, we'll discuss how to implement canary testing in your workflow. We'll cover the technical requirements, the tools you'll need, and best practices to follow. Whether you're a software developer, a project manager, or a curious tech enthusiast, this comprehensive guide will provide you with a solid understanding of canary testing. Let's dive in. Understanding Canary Testing Canary testing is a method used in software development to deploy new versions of software with minimal risk. It involves releasing the new version to a small subset of users, monitoring the performance, and then scaling up if successful. This strategy allows developers to catch potential issues early in a controlled environment. Originally, the term "canary" comes from the use of canaries in coal mines. Miners used them to detect toxic gases, as canaries are more sensitive to these fumes than humans. Similarly, in software, a 'canary' is deployed to detect potential risks in a new software version. This testing method reduces the risks associated with releasing new software updates. Developers gain... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-03-19 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-selenium-testing/ Selenium Testing Selenium is a widely used set of open-source testing automation tools for functional testing of browsers. The support of many programming languages, browsers. and operating systems have made it the number one automation testing tool for the majority of companies, including Google, Netflix, and HubSpot. Its biggest advantage is that it also allows testers with varying programming expertise to test web applications with it’s user-friendly tool suite. The Selenium testing automation tool suite consists of three main parts: Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE) – Allows developers to write and edit various test cases. Selenium IDE works like a plugin that records your activities in the browser, translates them into Selenium’s language which can be later exported in other programming languages like Java, Python, or Ruby. Selenium WebDriver – Selenium WebDriver is a programming interface that developers utilize to create and run tests. As mentioned, Selenium is beloved among the tech community because it allows you to execute test cases across many languages and operating systems. Selenium Grid – Selenium Grid enables parallel testing. What does this mean? The simultaneous execution of different tests on multiple machines and in multiple environments. This functionality allows testers to evaluate the performance of the system on various browsers and setups. It saves a lot of time. However, managing and scaling Selenium Grid infrastructure can be complex, requiring dedicated resources for setup and maintenance. While Selenium Grid provides parallel execution, AI-native test execution platforms like LambdaTest offers an online Selenium Grid that eliminates hassle of... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2025-09-26 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/load-testing/ Load Testing This guide is designed for those who are already familiar with load testing but are looking to dive deeper into its concepts, methods, and benefits. We'll cover everything from the basic definitions to advanced techniques, the challenges involved, and how RadView's WebLOAD can help streamline your load testing processes. What is Load Testing? Load testing is a type of non-functional software testing that measures a system's performance under an increased user volume to ensure it can handle expected traffic. It involves evaluating the system’s behavior and functionality using various metrics and parameters such as response time, throughput, server health, and stability. When it comes to non-functional software testing, load testing is typically the first thing that comes to mind. Load testing measures the response of a system under an increased user volume in order to verify it can handle an expected traffic of users. To test your system’s behavior and functionality you use various measurements and parameters such as response time, throughput, servers’ health and stability. But what does an “increased user load” mean? This will vary significantly depending on the application and context. Google may expect millions of users searching for data in parallel and may require that its system return results in less than 0. 5 seconds. A small local bank, on the other hand, may only be required to serve 1000 users in parallel with a 3-seconds login. And an eCommerce site may have another set of requirements for handling the checkout process of thousands of users.... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2024-12-15 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/what-is-jmeter/ JMeter JMeter is an open source testing product offered by the Apache Software Foundation. It is a popular Load Testing tool that analyses and measures the performance of web applications. JMeter supports response validation, variable parameterizations, configuration variables, and also has basic monitoring capabilities if needed. This popular plugin-based software is also open-source which means it can be modified according to your requirements. JMeter can generate millions of virtual users that simultaneously access the web application. This way, you can assess the level of performance of the website, both under normal circumstances and average load and under an unexpected heavy workload. It’s important to understand that JMeter is not a browser. It may resemble one, but it is actually a testing tool that functions at the protocol level. In other words, JMeter does not render HTML or run JS scripts. JMeter basically: Creates and sends requests to target servers. Gets back the information from the server and visualizes it in a chart or graph. Generates reports with test results in a format that is suitable for the company – XML, JSON, or text. Benefits of JMeter Now that we have gained a better understanding of what JMeter is, let’s dive into the benefits of adopting and using it in the modern organization. Open source – JMeter is open-source and free software that can be tailored to fit the company’s requirements. Developers can also contribute their innovations and modifications to upgrade JMeter.

It can be used for automating the entire build cycle and is commonly used for the incorporation of a continuous integration pipeline into the project workflow and always keeping it in a production-ready state. Jenkins Pipeline, also known as Pipeline, is essentially a suite of plugins that allows the blending of Continuous Delivery (CD) into Jenkins. This allows the on-demand fetching from version control to perform testing for a seamless CI/CD pipeline. Jenkins has been around for 15 years and became one of the leading automation servers, with hundreds of plugins that facilitate automation of building, testing, and deploying. Jenkins Pipeline Jenkins declarative pipeline is a way to implement continuous delivery into the software development process. The goal is to accelerate the development cycle by automating the processes, even in complex delivery pipelines. The Jenkins pipeline represents a sequence of jobs that trigger each other. In a complex project, the number of jobs can significantly increase which makes the integration of the Jenkins pipeline more relevant. But why is continuous delivery important? Basically, continuous delivery ensures that the product is always ready to be launched. Meaning that every change that is made on software is quickly built and sufficiently tested to be ready for the production phase. In other words, continuous delivery helps companies to release more frequently as well as reduces the time to market and lowers the costs. Jenkins Pipeline as... --- - Published: 2023-12-20 - Modified: 2024-12-30 - URL: https://www.radview.com/glossary/blue-green-deployment/ Blue Green Deployment What is Blue Green Deployment? Blue green deployment is a method of releasing a new version of an application with zero downtime. This deployment process requires two identical environments: “blue” and “green”. When you are releasing new features of the application, you shift the requests from the old version to the new one. Meanwhile, the changes are being made in the old app and the new version is receiving all the load. This way your application does not experience any downtime, and your customers can continue using it. How is Blue Green Deployment used? By default, the blue environment is the production environment and green is the new version of the application that needs to be tested. All user traffic is directed to the blue environment, while the green environment is used as the base for Quality Assurance (QA) tasks. After new features have been successfully tested, production requests are routed to the green environment. At this point, the blue environment becomes staging where tests are being executed, and the green takes the role of the production environment. Implementing the blue green deployment philosophy should involve: The blue environment is active and receiving all the requests. New code parts are deployed to the green environment which is remaining inactive at this specific stage. After testing the new release features and hitting the performance benchmarks, switching the toggle from blue to green. At this stage, the blue environment is inaccessible through the load balancer and becomes inactive. Ut then starts receiving... --- --- ## What We Do - Published: 2024-01-09 - Modified: 2024-01-09 - URL: https://www.radview.com/what_we_do/webinar/ How to plan and design performance testing --- - Published: 2024-01-09 - Modified: 2024-04-03 - URL: https://www.radview.com/what_we_do/blog/ Overcoming the challenges of selenium --- - Published: 2024-01-09 - Modified: 2024-01-09 - URL: https://www.radview.com/what_we_do/white-paper/ Load Testing Buyer's guide --- --- ## Trusted Teams --- ## Post Testimonial - Published: 2024-07-30 - Modified: 2024-08-07 - URL: https://www.radview.com/post_testimonial/steven-zuromski/ Webload Gives us the confidence that our Ellucian Software can operate as expected during peak demands of student registration --- - Published: 2024-07-26 - Modified: 2024-07-31 - URL: https://www.radview.com/post_testimonial/great-experience/ Webload excels in performance testing, offering a user-friendly interface and precise results.
