Spike Testing

Spike Testing is the testing in which suddenly Test Team increase/decrease the load over the system by a varying number of users and then observing the behavior of the system. The Objective of this sudden increase of load to check weather performance will suffer, system get crash or it handled this sudden increase/decrease load.

This type of Testing needed for the web page in which the number of users suddenly increase or decrease then on that cases it is chances to break down the system so the test the performance of the system of unexpected traffic is called the Spike Testing. Spike Testing also called Data Volume Testing.

Consider a web application of any university who declared the result today. Number of users who accessing of the web page sometimes increase and sometime decrease so on this type of web pages need Spike Testing in which we can verified that on sudden increment or decrement how the system is performing. We can manage this like this if there is a validation that maximum 100 user can access that page one time and if more then 100 users access that page then it can show the message that web page is fully loaded or we can allow the user into the system but little bit decrease the performance of the system.
