What is Performance Testing?

Performance testing is a type of software testing that is carried out to evaluate the speed, responsiveness, scalability, stability, and reliability of an application or system under different workload conditions. This testing ensures that the application or system can perform optimally under normal and peak load conditions. It involves simulating a high volume of users or data to determine how the application or system responds, how much load it can handle, and identify performance bottlenecks that may affect the overall user experience. The results obtained from performance testing help developers and QA teams to fine-tune the application or system for better performance, reduce downtime, prevent crashes, and improve overall user satisfaction.
