Smartphones today have evolved from merely a communication device to a multi-functional tool which makes life easier. A study by Statista reveals that 4.93 billion people use smartphone applications for daily needs, banking, video streaming, antivirus, and much more.

This outspread of smartphones creates the need for effective performance testing of mobile applications. For example, if a person is seeking help through a healthcare application to call an ambulance, the slow responding application could lead to loss of life.

Business success is also related to performance of a smartphone application and any slowness in the application's transaction could lead to an opportunity for their competitors. Hence, we have come up with useful information about performance testing for mobile apps and evaluated “LoadView” – a performance testing tool.

The technology sphere is changing day by day. The traditional approach where organization(s) had to buy their own network, purchase software license(s) is now being replaced with cloud computing. In cloud computing, organization(s) use the machines, software license(s) on demand basis and they pay for hours only when the resources are used. On top of it, they also get the benefit that the machines are available across the world. Cloud is the only solution, if performance testing needs to be performed from different Geographical locations. Cloud based performance testing solutions provide distinct advantages in terms of speed, scalability and availability of on demand test labs without much investment or efforts. Our experts have provided information like tips on cloud based performance testing and tool selection in this quarterly performance testing newsletter. Hopefully, you will like it.
