Application performance testing is one way to describe software testing. Software testing jobs exist so that companies can get their software debugged before it goes on the market. You will have to determine what course of action you take in application performance testing. What you call it, the stages you move through, and how long it takes is secondary to understanding the activities you must do in application performance testing.

When you perform application performance testing you are looking for bugs in the software, but more you need to know how the software is implemented, what could break the performance of the software, and whether it should be validated for quality assurance. There are rigorous tests you will need to put an application through to tests its performance.

Application performance testing is only looking at one aspect of the software. You are looking at performance only. Are there bugs that will slow the quickness of the applications performance? If you hit certain keystrokes will the application fail, and thus be underperforming? These questions and more are something you need to consider to determine the application performance testing results.

The first thing you will do in application performance testing is to identify the test environment. You will need a plan for the logical and physical production architecture. Also as part of the testing process, you need to look at the performance acceptance criteria offered by the company. Are they looking for certain expectations, risks to be lowered, and business requirements in the software? You have to understand what the client is looking for before you can be successful in the tests.

During the application performance testing, you might find other aspects to test. If this is not part of the contract, you might need to speak with the company about why it should be tested. Before you begin a plan, a designing of tests must occur. It gives you a solid method for how to approach the applications. Configuring the tests, implementing them and executing them are the next three stages. The final stage is offering a report after analysis of the application is complete.
