What
When software application is developed, software team keeps few parameters in considerations like Business need, expected usage, hardware on which application is deployed, internet connectivity etc. These parameters are responsible for performance of any application.

Why
Due to change in business needs or any other parameters as mentioned earlier, performance of application decreases. It is very important to have optimum speed of such applications to increase productivity of organization. So Performance tuning of application is very important.

How we do it at Our Test Lab
At Silver Touch, we take close consideration of every aspect related to system and application stability. Backed with our experience with a variety of front- and back ends, servers, web-based applications etc., we have empirically derived benchmarks for performance, load, volume and stress. Used in conjunction with industry-accepted benchmarks, we analyze each aspect of software and hardware to infer performance capabilities.

Load, size, throughput, round time, transaction time, connect time, send time, response time, process time, average latency, receive time, disk memory and CPU utilization are just a few parameters that are closely studied during each activity of the application. Response parameters of each activity are monitored under various loads and concurrent usage to check for failure. What are also determined are important aspects of load, volume and hardware thresholds for a given number of users.
