In the first part of our three-episode video series “How to prepare your app for holiday season’’, we discussed the Functional and Compatibility testing. Now we are going to talk about Performance and Load Testing. Let’s jump straight into it!
Your app’s performance has a significant impact on customers’ behavior. Performance testing covers various areas but these five are the basic metrics you need to cover:
1. Application installation time
The first impression of your app must be perfect. If installation takes several minutes, probably you have lost the user already.
2. Application launch time
Your app should not take more than a few seconds to launch and even on the slowest devices, the launch should never take tens of seconds.
3. Load times for each of the main views in your app
Use the functional test scripts from Stage 1 to measure the load times of each main views of a wide variety of devices.
4. Loading content from server-side
Your app’s network usage has a big impact on battery consumption, which is a common reason why users uninstall the app.
5. Performance in different network conditions
It’s important to test how your application performs under different network conditions to ensure that it can fail gracefully if the loading of content takes longer than normally.
The only way to get a realistic view of your app’s loading time is to run the same performance tests against your production server that has a huge amount of concurrent load. Load testing is a common practice in web development and there are a lot of useful tools for generating server-side user loads such as LoadNinja.
We’ve already discussed functional, compatibility testing and now performance and load testing. Don’t waste more time, jump straight to the final stage - proactive end-to-end monitoring.
