The purpose of performance test

The purpose of performance test is to verify whether the software system can meet the performance indicators proposed by the user, identify performance bottlenecks in the software system, optimize the software, and ultimately achieve the goal of optimizing the system.

performance test includes the following aspects:

1. Evaluate the system's capabilities, and the load and response time data obtained during testing can be used to validate the planned model's capabilities and assist in making decisions.

2. Identify weaknesses in the system: Controlled loads can be increased to an extreme level and broken through to repair bottlenecks or weak areas in the system.

3. System tuning: Repeatedly running tests to verify that the activities of adjusting the system have achieved the expected results, thereby improving performance.

Detecting software issues: Prolonged test execution can lead to program failures caused by memory leaks, revealing hidden issues or conflicts within the program.

4. Verify stability and reliability: Performing tests for a certain period of time under a production load is the only way to evaluate whether the system stability and reliability meet the requirements.
