Performance Testing Services in USA and India

In the Internet era, software performance testing services are the basic need of technical organizations. The performance of a software product or service is as critical as its functional accuracy. End users expect information to be available at the click of a button and that the application provides a reliable user experience. Therefore companies are looking for excellent performance testing services and load testing services in the market. Most of the software systems do well during engineering cycles and beta releases. However, as the product or service goes into production, the end-users suffer as the software system is not able to deliver expected services with the desired efficiency. For mission-critical software systems, such situations are business blockers.

AFour provides the best Performance Testing Services in USA and India and works hand in hand with the clients from the conception phase of the system for performance testing services activities. We assist clients in defining performance business goals of the product in terms of reliability, availability and scalability. This is further broken down into non-functional requirements (NFRs). If NFRs are already available, we categorize them in terms of reliability, availability and scalability attributes of the system.

Once the NFR requirements are frozen, the next phase to work on is the architecture performance review. This phase consists of reviewing deployment architecture. Deployment architecture has many vital elements that can impact the efficiency of the system. Areas such as storage technology, storage redundancy, storage hardware, application services architecture (sticky sessions, chatty interfaces, application services technology vs. underlying OS platform), cloud services factor, efficiency trade-off for security, etc. are few key things to review. AFour assists its clients in reviewing architecture/design of the system and identify potential improvement areas.

Proper implementation of the software system is as significant as efficient design. During the implementation phase, one needs to carefully review the implementation of good programming practices (proper use of OOPS philosophy, careful use of static/global variables, controlled process of changing the public interfaces, the efficiency of database indexing, etc.) and valid documentation of external APIs. We consult in code reviews and provide periodic reports.

Based on the deep experience of software performance testing services of n-tier distributed enterprise applications, we understand how performance is built into the system right from driving clarity in performance requirements, usage patterns, covering tool selection and simulation of workload, up to performance analysis, tuning and monitoring. We proactively assist our clients in identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks by testing their product or service in production-like environments to ensure that the system does not give surprises if put to stress with the large number of users and for an extended duration while in production. With deep expertise in all primary tools and with .NET, J2EE/Open source technologies, we can provide an excellent performance test cycle experience to our clients on all Windows and Linux platforms, covering all aspects related to reliability, availability and scalability.
