Performance Testing

The MagenTys Performance Testing Service offers a comprehensive service which includes:

• Test Strategy Development
• Requirements Gathering
• Volumetric Analysis
• Load and stress testing
• Scalability and volume testing
• Endurance and soak testing
• Performance testing tool evaluation
• Performance monitoring and tuning

MagenTys also offers the MagenTys Gun, which provides a solution to your outsourced web performance testing needs. The service validates websites and web-enabled applications between a browser and a web server/application using a virtual user testing model.

Our load test service will create a series of tests designed to:

• Quickly assess the scalability of an application and underlying infrastructure through the use of high load volumes and concurrency tests.
• Identify the application’s ability to scale to various levels of load and the cause of any performance issues.
• Deliver automated notification to the client when a performance requirement is/isn't met.

The service can be used to test new developments, website enhancements or infrastructure changes to support seasonal or peak events. It is robust, scalable and fast to deploy. There are no additional testing tool license costs or restrictions on service periods. There are no additional costs for simulating high volumes of users or transactions in a test scenario. And you only pay for what you use.

A risk assessment is carried out at the start of the assignment and the testing is prioritised by risk. This allows you to match up budget with the level of risk you want to mitigate. It means that you can choose the level of performance testing you want, ranging from a simple benchmark load test to comprehensive set of performance tests for a complex web-enabled system to fit your needs.

What we deliver:

• We will develop test scenarios for each key process or transaction type.
• Once proven, we will combine the test scenarios to simulate a realistic load. This will provide an understanding of how the system behaves at different levels of activity (Load Testing).
• We can test the system beyond normal levels of usage or transaction volumes to see how it behaves (Stress Testing).
• Additional tests over extended periods of time, to provide confidence that the application behaves normally and will not deteriorate (soak testing).
• We will identify bottlenecks and actions required to optimise your web sites as we perform the testing.
• We will deliver a comprehensive and detailed report of findings, risks, and conclusions.
