# Performance Testing Services — RPM Solutions

| Test type | Question answered | Load profile |
|---|---|---|
| Load testing | Does the system meet SLOs at expected production load? | Ramp to target, sustain plateau |
| Stress testing | Where is the breaking point and how does it fail? | Ramp past target until degradation |
| Soak testing | Does performance degrade over sustained operation? | Moderate load held 8–72 hours |
| Spike testing | Can the system absorb a sudden surge and recover? | Near-instant step to multiples of normal |
| Scalability testing | How does capacity grow as resources are added? | Stepped load across resource configurations |

Every engagement includes: a written test plan with explicit workload model,
version-controlled scripts the client owns, full raw results, an evidence-backed
findings report, and a walkthrough with the engineering team.

Most go-live engagements combine a load test, a stress test and a short soak.
