Performance measures include elapsed time of the test, the amount of data transferred (including headers), the response time of the server, its transaction rate, its throughput, its concurrency and the number of times it returned OK. These measures are quantified and reported at the end of each run. [4] This is a sample of siege output:
Research [1] and literature [2] on concurrency testing and concurrent testing typically focuses on testing software and systems that use concurrent computing.The purpose is, as with most software testing, to understand the behaviour and performance of a software system that uses concurrent computing, particularly assessing the stability of a system or application during normal activity.
The term load testing [1] or stress testing is used in different ways in the professional software testing community. Load testing generally refers to the practice of modeling the expected usage of a software program by simulating multiple users accessing the program concurrently. [ 2 ]
Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor. [1] Software testing can determine the correctness of software for specific scenarios but cannot determine correctness for all scenarios. [2] [3] It cannot find all bugs.
When using these numbers to test software in this way, the developer generalizes the set of all reals into three numbers. This is a more efficient and manageable method, but more prone to failure. Generalizing test cases is an example of just one technique to deal with failure—specifically, failure due to invalid user input.
Security Administrator Tool for Analyzing Networks (SATAN) was a free software vulnerability scanner for analyzing networked computers. SATAN captured the attention of a broad technical audience, appearing in PC Magazine [ 1 ] and drawing threats from the United States Department of Justice . [ 1 ]
[1] [2] When used to determine if a computer program should be subjected to further, more fine-grained testing, a smoke test may be called a pretest [5] or an intake test. [1] Alternatively, it is a set of tests run on each new build of a product to verify that the build is testable before the build is released into the hands of the test team ...
Google Test UI is a software tool for testing computer programs, and serves as a test runner. It employs a 'test binary', a compiled program responsible for executing tests and analyzing their results, to evaluate software functionality. It visually presents the testing progress through a progress bar and displays a list of identified issues or ...
