Stability Testing Approach

• Identify test objectives
• Identify key scenarios
• Identify the duration
• Identify metrics
• Implement test cases
• Simulate load and Run
• Analyze results

Objective of Stability Testing:

To confirm whether our web-site is continuously functioning well in or above an acceptable period.

Key scenarios:

Particular number of users will access home page, and top menu options like “About Us”, “Competency”, “Service Offerings”, “Careers”, “Contact Us”, “Home”, “Policies” and  other sub-menu options over a given duration.

Defining Workload:

To confirm whether our server is continuously responding well for 2 days or for 10000 times for the repeated access with the same set of requests.

Metrics to be collected:

Average Response Time and Throughput values will be collected after execution.

Sample Test cases:

1. Open http://exampleworld.com site and Record by

clicking on Home button in single thread group using

Jmeter

2. Select the thread and Set No Of Thread Group = 10

Ramp-Up period = 1

Loop Count is 10000

3. Run Jmeter

Server should be able to respond all the requests successfully.

Implement test cases in JMeter:

In Jmeter record the steps given in Test cases in the same way as explained in functionality Testing.

Simulating the load and Execute:

Enter: No Of Thread Group = 10

Ramp-Up period = 1

Loop Count is 10000

Now Run Jmeter (Ctrl+R)

Results Analysis :

If Server is able to respond all the requests successfully over this duration result is Pass.

Conclusion :

All Stability cases are Executed successfully 10000 times and All cases are Passed.
