An Outlook to Performance Testing for Digital Transformation

The concept of performance and latency of an app from the user’s point of view is what maneuvers the quest of performance for QA software testing companies. It is as simple as it looks because everyone knows how fast people leave an app or a site if it does not work. Some quality testers think that the testing is a reactive process, and some consider testing the website or the app after the production is over, to make it better functioning. 

With this simple definition, performance testing can do a lot more than what testers think. It can intensify and boot the competitive advantage in this mobile world, with 24/ service.

QA consulting companies say that performance testing does not always make sense in an Agile Environment. New builds and features are added frequently; this is the sole reason why in an agile environment, performance testing takes are pushed back in the line. And with frequent changes and build uploads, it gets hard to shift continuously. 

To use performance testing to our advantage, we need to redesign the whole concept by stopping the entire process, which would help us build better software or e-commerce platforms with better transactional portals. They would perform superlatively and be able to load and balance thousands of users simultaneously.  

Most new generation software testing providers focus less on the system and more on the result, which is the best way to implement performance testing. As they believe that’s how a performance testing approach would deliver performance-driven results. 

But, performance testing will not work because we will need to understand the customer as well, what it is that the client wants in their systems, and the client's perspective. Traditional tools cannot measure some innate parameters. Parameters like load time, response time, the content generation, the format of the content, and the latency, with which it appears. These are all those parameters that a tester has to take care of. 

Software quality testing is not only about enhancing the speed but also improving the perception of speed. Cause everyone knows how to tune the server while it takes on a ton on load, but can anyone say how much time would it takes, for the text to appear on the screen when the user clicks it. So the part of the performance testing is how fast you can get the text over the page with better code, how you can get the second line of the text to appear in seconds, and continuously load the graphics as the user interacts with the page.

For this idea, testers are using tools like Lighthouse made for open-source, this tool is no rocket science, but yes, it does pack a lot with it. It helps testers with auditing the web page's performance, SEO, improves accessibility, keeps it up with the best practices, and progresses. You can also install it as a chrome extension or in your node Js command line module.

Performance testing should be a part of our daily meetups. With the right tools in hand, you can find your way by optimizing the UX and correctly implementing them. A fast, usable, responsive is what a client is looking for, and if you fail to deliver that, they will turn towards your competitors.
