Our take on quality assurance: At the heart of our philosophy Is the belief that quality should be the cornerstone of every product, every project, and every partnership we enter into.
Why Performance Testing?
Performance testing is a systematic evaluation method for software systems. At STS, we scrutinize crucial KPIs to identify gaps and rectify errors, ensuring your software functions optimally. Our performance testing includes analysis of:
User Capacity
Response Times
Load Handling Capability
Bytes per second
Latency
Our performance testing services offer a comprehensive assessment of your software's responsiveness, stability, scalability, reliability, speed, and resource usage. We ensure your software delivers optimal performance under varying loads and conditions.
Types of Performance Testing at STS
We offer a range of performance testing services to ensure your system's stability and optimal operation under anticipated stress. These include:
Load testing
We simulate high user loads to determine how your system performs under peak usage conditions.
Spike Testing
We test your system's resilience against sudden surges in user requests to ensure it can handle traffic spikes.
Stress Testing
Our stress tests probe your system's upper limits, identifying any potential weak points under extreme load conditions.
Volume testing
We test your software's performance in handling large data volumes, validating your system's storage capacity.
Scability testing
Our tests assess your software's scalability, focusing on non-functional attributes such as performance and reliability.
Endurance testing
We evaluate your application's endurance by subjecting it to sustained loads over extended periods, checking for potential memory issues.

PERFORMANCE TESTING TOOLS
-
What makes functional testing an integral part of software development?Functional testing is an integral part of software development as it ensures that the software performs its intended functions correctly, meeting user requirements. This leads to improved user satisfaction, product quality, and lower maintenance costs.
-
How does your functional testing process align with Agile methodologies?Our functional testing process aligns with Agile methodologies by facilitating regular and thorough testing during each sprint. This allows us to ensure the functionality of new features and improvements while enabling us to adapt to changes rapidly.
-
What types of defects can functional testing identify and help rectify?Functional testing can identify a wide variety of defects, such as user interface functionality issues, problems with software functions, errors in data handling, and inaccuracies in the implementation of business logic or rules.
-
What tools and technologies are used in your functional testing services?We employ a variety of tools for functional testing including Selenium, JIRA, QuickTest Professional (QTP), and TestComplete. These tools automate the process of functional testing, improving efficiency and accuracy.
-
How does your functional testing process ensure that the software aligns with the specified requirements?Our functional testing process verifies and validates each function of the software application against the specified requirements. By comparing actual functionality with expected outputs for given inputs, we ensure that the software meets the desired criteria.
