Load Testing Services

 Load Testing Services:

Stress testing is the process of placing a software system under adverse conditions to determine its ability to maintain a certain level of effectiveness. Our process involves quantitatively analyzing the system by keeping a detailed account of the frequency of errors and system crashes. We also evaluate the system qualitatively for factors such as availability or resistance to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. When evaluating a system under a stress test, the adverse environment deliberately created and maintained includes:

• Overloading the system with several resource intensive applications to stretch it beyond its load limit
• Hacking into a system for using it to spread spam
• Sending large number of useless e-mail messages to the server

We basically try to crash the system under test by tying up its resources or removing resources from it. Our objective is to ensure that when the system fails, it recovers gracefully in an attempt to measure the system's recoverability. We verify that when a system failure occurs, the product is able to save its state and recover using this saved state and that it does not hang or crash suddenly. We check whether the error causing the failure is reported to the user properly.  We also check whether these failures compromise the security of the system or not.
