As a developer or QA tester, you know how important it is to have all the relevant information about your applications in one place. That’s why we at LoadFocus have created a new feature that allows you to customize your dashboard with widgets that show the metrics you care about the most.

Here are some easy steps to follow in order to sucessfully do a load testing session for your newly created website.

The best time to load test your website is when you are in the development phase. This will allow you to identify potential issues before the application is released to the public.

Here are some important suggestions on how to improve your search engine optimization (SEO) and advance your website and every page in the ranks of search engine result pages (SERPs) to the top of the page results.

LoadFocus now provides easy testing for services that are using OAuth authorization (we support OAuth2.0 as OAuth1.0 was retired in 2012). We support all the OAuth 2.0 grant types: For testing a service that is behind a login (that has OAuth authorization) the only thing the user needs to do is: The call to the authorization server will be done only once before the performance testing of the API endpoints starts.

CPU or Central Processing Unit is the brain of any computer and its main responsibility is processing all the tasks required by the running applications. CPU Utilization is a key metric in performance testing which measures the percentage of time the CPU spends executing a task. One of the most crucial tasks to do when running a performance test is to monitor the resource utilization.

During crucial performance testing session we need to monitor and measure various parameters/metrics to be able to analyze and understand why the application behaves in a certain way under a specific load. Below ones are the most used metrics collected during performance testing sessions.

Software developers try to implement applications that not only is responsive and fast with a very small number of users but also with multiple users using the application. To be able to measure this we need to rely on different types of performance testing. Performance testing should be an integral part of the agile release manifesto.

Have you ever entered a website and realized how slow things move, you just click a button and you have time to do something else until the requested action is finished. Sometimes I enter on this kind of websites with the idea to purchase their product or service, but when the things move so slow, I start to ask myself, do I really wanna purchase this or shall I find another competitor or website offering the same product.
