<h2>Is performance testing relevant for your company?</h2><p>If you have a company website, it is already relevant. Next to a marketing point of view every website, webshop, ERP, …should be performant at any moment as your reputation as reliable partner is at stake. Downtime can cause harmful long-term damage to your brand. To clarify some numbers:</p><ul><li><span style="font-size:18px;">66% of customers said website performance influences their impression of the company and 33% of customers have a negative impression of companies with a poor performing website</span></li><li><span style="font-size:18px;">47% of customers expect to wait no longer than two seconds for a web page to load. After that, consumer tolerance wears and 40% of the visitors leave a web page if it doesn't load in less than three seconds</span></li><li><span style="font-size:18px;">The results of a one-second increase in download: 78% conversion decrease, 64% increased bounce rate, 4,3% loss of revenue per visitor</span></li></ul>

<h2>Different types of performance testing</h2><p>Performance is often referred to as non-functional software testing. Other examples of these ‘non-functionals’ are security testing and usability testing. To determine how your digital application (website, application, CRM, webshop, …) performs under different circumstances, we execute different types of tests; load testing, stress testing, endurance testing, spike testing, volume testing and scalability testing.</p>

Every project starts with defining clear goals and assigning responsible persons (at your side and ours). Further on the benchmarks are set, what do we expect to know after testing had been done? Then a straight forward process starts:

<h1>Performance testing</h1><p>Performance testing is the practice of determining how applications, hardware, networks, databases, etc will perform under pressure. The main goal is to improve speed, scalability, stability and reliability. Performance issues have a nasty habit of turning up late in the application life cycle. The later you discover them, the greater the cost and effort to resolve.<br>&nbsp;</p>
