Performance Testing Services
Different questions demand different test types. We design each engagement around the specific risk you need to retire — not a one-size-fits-all script.
| Test type | Question it answers | Load profile |
|---|---|---|
| Load testing | Does the system meet its SLOs at expected production load? | Ramp to target, sustain at 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 for 8–72 hours |
| Spike testing | Can the system absorb a sudden surge and recover? | Near-instant step to multiples of normal load |
| Scalability testing | How does capacity grow as resources are added? | Stepped load across multiple resource configurations |
What every engagement includes
Regardless of test type, you receive: a written test plan with an explicit workload model; version-controlled test scripts you own outright; full raw results (not just a summary deck); a findings report with prioritised, evidence-backed recommendations; and a walkthrough session with your engineering team.
Not sure which test type you need? Most go-live engagements combine a load test,
a stress test and a short soak. Describe your situation and we'll
recommend a scope.
