Among the tests that need to be done to guarantee the quality of our applications are functional, code analysis, and security tests, but there are also performance tests. The purpose of performance testing isn't to detect bugs in applications; it's to ensure that the application (or API) responds within an acceptable time frame to provide a good user experience.
The performance of an application is determined by metrics such as the following:
- Its response time
- The use of resources (CPU, RAM, and network)
- The error rate
- The number of requests per second
Performance tests are divided into several types of tests, such as load tests, stress tests, and scalability tests.
There are many tools available to perform performance tests. This article, https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/performance-testing-tools-load-testing-tools/, lists...
