Hi,

Can you please help with the typical risks in preparing/planning for Performance testing in a software product implementation (on Cloud) for a large enterprise set up?

Thanks,
Rajan

Typical risk in any product testing is your testing may be inadequate and you may leave lot of bugs in product. You need to assess testing budget, resources and time allowed against size of product. You also need to analyze specifications and function description covers all details as required for such product and if product is adequately developed. You needs to prepare test cases for verification and validation of product.

A couple things you need to take care of in Performance testing: perform testing on the real thing, not a (reduced) test bed. Ensure you test with real load, not just a simple script on one of the servers. make sure you use real use cases and not just for example http requests messages. You will want to test database behavior, find latency and detect I/O bottlenecks. For cloud, this becomes even more interesting as you will want to take into account elasticity, both vertical and horizontal.

Hi,

In IT project, always we should try to ensure an environment that replicates production system, basically with

- Components to be tested shall be completely functional.No bugs.
- Data repositories shall be representative of production systems

Master data quality and quantity was always in my risk log.
