Before an application hits the market, it has to be evaluated for speed, scalability, stability under varying load conditions since it cannot go live if it has a poor usability or functional discrepancies. An effective performance testing ensures your application meets the acceptable criteria for robustness and responsiveness under a reasonable load. Understanding your application, making it a part of unit testing, setting realistic performance benchmarks, understanding users’ perspective and implementing DevOps are a few of the best practices for conducting an effective performance testing.

When it comes to testing software products, testers follow planned and formal testing procedures. However, sometimes in order to identify defects and obtain quick feedback with minimum planning, exploratory testing is used, which allows testers to test functional aspects of a product without following a stringent test plan. Let us understand what is exploratory testing and how it is useful in an Agile environment.

The aim of every software product development team is to

In an agile development approach, it is important to test the functioning of the products in sprints and unmask defects that may crop up during the development of new features. Implementing regression testing in an agile way ensures that the quality of the product is in alignment with the new features to avoid future reworks and also ensures that it meets the customer’s expectations on time. Here’s how to implement regression testing in an agile way.
