2 minutes readKey takeaways CPU utilisation shows whether the server is working or waiting, which changes the diagnosis. High CPU with low throughput usually means inefficient code, not insufficient hardware. Watch it on the load generator too, since a saturated generator caps the test. CPU or Central Processing Unit is the brain of any computer and its… Read more »
7 minutes readKey takeaways Response time alone hides the problem. Track throughput, error rate and resource use alongside it. Percentiles tell you what users actually experience; averages hide the slow tail. Decide which metrics matter before the test runs, or you will rationalise whatever the run produced. During crucial performance testing session we need to monitor and… Read more »
2 minutes readPerformance testing is a generic term that refers to testing how an application behaves under load. Performance testing should be done continuously not just on specific milestones, as this brings benefits related to: how the performance improves/degrades during the releases can be a very early indicator that something has gone wrong that might really affect… Read more »

Two runs with the same mean can behave completely differently, and this is how you tell. Pair it with percentiles rather than reporting either alone. Standard Deviation is an important metric in performance testing analysis and informs… Read more »
