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

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

How to Put Load on a Script in JMeter

In last post we discussed about how to record a test script and Firefox settings to run the script. In this post we will discuss about how the Thread Group will work, how can we put n number of users to perform load testing, In JMeter by using Thread Group, we can create virtual users. Thread Group is a set of thread which work in same scenario. There are multiple thread group are available which is use to configure how the virtual users interest with the application, How much load maintain and till how much time load maintain.

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.
