We determine the best cocktail of these different tests case by case, above all efficiency is key!
Every project starts with defining clear goals and assigning responsible persons (at your side & ours). Together we identify which flow to automate using the right tool(s). We run the flows as if they are executed by x number of users and simulate the applications’ behavior when used by numerous users. The goal is to identify the bottlenecks. Once the results are good, we define the benchmark against which all future versions will be compared to and last but not least give recommendations on how to include performance testing in your overall testing strategy and process.
✔️ Choose the best tooling suitable for your case also if this means throwing another one out the window. Our experts are skilled in both open-source as paid tools. We are vendor-independent so you can count on an honest and objective advice.
