Soak Testing

A Soak Testing is a typical production load for continuous available period to check system behavior under production use.  Soak Test also called the Endurance Test. It is a non-function Testing.
A Soak testing means , tester put the huge amount of load for the large amount of time to check the stability and the response time of the application.

For an example if a system is working for 1 hour then we check it for 3 hours. Generally we are using Soak Test in financial sector where more transaction occur concurrently. Suppose there are 10000 transaction and these are taking 100 hours. We increase the time suppose 300 hours to check the response, memory leaks,resource allocation or memory allocation.

Issue that can be found in Soak Test
  • Memory Leak Issue
  • Failure of close connection between system layers
  • Failure of close database connection
  • Gradual degradation of response time
  • Unreleased Resources

Why Jmeter is best option for Performance Testing?

There are multiple tools in market for performance testing of any software but Jmeter is the best solution among all of them due to some reason listed below 1) Jmeter is the open source application so users who use this application will not to pay anything. 2) You can use Jmeter for performance of any web application,  Databases and Web Services (REST and SOAP APIs). 3) Jmeter have the user friendly UI component so it is very easy to use. 4) Jmeter can be used to simulate to put maximum number of concurrent users on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. 5) Jmeter also use for functional testing for static( JavaScript and HTML) and dynamic( JSP, Servlets and AJAX) resources. 6) Jmeter provides Verity of graphical representations for performance report so it is easy to understand.

How You Can Test Database?

Now we know the Database Testing which you can learn in my last article. In this article we will discuss about the steps that need to following to test any Database. Database Tester should have some basic knowledge regarding SQL Command like DDL (create/drop),  DML (Insert/Delete/Update) and DCL (Grant/Revoke).

Causes of Software Defects

It is practically impossible that developer develop a bug free software and that software we can deliver without Testing. If the complexity of the software increased then there must be bugs that can harm the users who will use that software.
