Test automation is the process which involves the application of software tools in managing the implementation of tests, the evaluation of the existing result and the prediction of future results, the creation of test prerequisites and establishment of performance testing results.

Generally, test automation involves the use of strategies and tools to enhance or lessen the need for manual involvement in unskilled, recurring or unnecessary tasks that consumes too much time and uses more effort in testing the efficiency and effectiveness of software.

There are many test automation service provider in the net today. And presently, Kualitatem, an expert testing outsourcing company is the most preferred software testing company.

Kualitatem offers independent test automation services aimed towards improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business software application testing activities.

They provide test automation services that are cost effective and offer benefits such as:

• Reliable test automation procedures: executes accurately the same operations whenever they are run, thus eradicating errors.
• Repeatable: Since test automation can be performed repeatedly, the behavior of the software can be determined how it responds in constant and moderate running of the same operations.
• Comprehensive: Test automation can construct a set of performance testing that extends in each aspect of application.
• Reusable: Test automation means reusability. Performance testing procedures can be reused to test diverse versions of an application even if there are changes on the user interface.
• Better Quality Software: Running more tests in less time with fewer resources.
• Fast: Test Automation software tools carry out performance testing much quicker than human users.
• Cost Reduction: Resources for testing the regression of the software are reduced, which implies saving money.

Performance tuning is defined as the improvement of system performance. It is a part of test management procedure in which modifications are made to the system to make it ready to manage a higher load routine.

Kualitatem, an expert software testing company that extends its performance testing services globally, executes thorough test automation procedures to the scalability of the system.

This kind of test automation falls under one of the performance testing procedures known as performance tuning.

Kualitatem’s performance tuning adapts the same measure-evaluate-improve-learn cycle from quality assurance. It has similar systematic monitoring and evaluation guidelines like that of quality assurance which tries to identify various aspects of the projects. These guidelines include:

• Assessing the problem
• Identifying part of the system that is critical for improving performance
• Modifying part of the system to remove any bottlenecks
• Measuring the performance of the system after modification

• Implementing an algorithm for a performing task
• removing performance bottlenecks that result to slow access to data
• arranging systems evenly to improve overall performance
• optimizing its own internal running parameters to maximize or minimize the fulfillment of an objective function

If you own a gadget like a Playstation Portable (PSP), have you ever thought about what makes the gadget stand long hours of usage? Think that a PSP has a lot of uses such as playing games, storing images, music and movie files, listen to music or even watching a movie on the miniature screen. It is really amazing that such a small gadget can handle much workload. That is because it underwent a series of performance testing before it was released into the market.

Every product has to undergo a sequence of performance testing. Without the performance testing, the capacity of a product to function under stress as well as its behavior on a constant workload cannot be determined. Performance testing, therefore, measures the effectiveness of a certain product by checking its reliability, scalability, and interoperability.

Kualitatem Testing Outsourcing Company takes pride in offering high-grade performance testing services to software companies worldwide. They conduct performance testing using test automation tools such as the J Meter, Load Runner, Astra Load and WAPT. These tools are used to diagnose what parts of a software contributes most to the poor performance or to establish output and entry levels for maintained satisfactory response time.

Later on, a complete performance testing analysis report is compiled highlighting the performance issues and recommendations as per analysis. Various types of performance testing parameters are used to determine the routine of an application. These performance testing parameters consists of:

Stress or Load Testing – performed to identify the stability of an application under certain levels of load. During this test Kualitatem attempts to stress the application to the point of failure. This reveals all the weak points in the application.

Recoverability Testing – checks if the application is self recoverable or not .Then behavior of application is checked beyond its point of failure. And if the application is self recoverable it is then catered for any contingency plans.

Endurance or Longevity Testing – monitors the application behavior on a constant, moderate workload for a long period of time which pinpoints bottlenecks and component limitations.

Performance Tuning – modifications are made to the system to make it ready for managing higher load.
