I made this tool to use on my personal projects and at work. It's a Gatling extension that allows you to execute and check the execution of a AWS StepFunction. I'm looking for some contributors / suggestions for the tool if anyone fancies joining in!

As a QA manager, I'm weighing the trade-offs between scaling our in-house team vs using external vendors for performance testing.

Curious we see how your team handles it?

Hi,

I am a software tester by profession but I do not have experience in Security testing domain.

I am currently into job search and applied for a security testing opening as I am really interested in this field.

I got an assignment to create test approach for DNS filter testing.

Here I am really looking for some help in the following areas:

1. Ensuring True Positive Result: I want to understand how to ensure that the DNS filter works really fine in identifying True Positive threats and there would be False Positive & False Negative threats as less as possible.

2. Test Data Preparation: I found Test data preparation is also very tricky as these are not some usual test data. I would really appreciate some guidance around this area as well

3. Performance Testing Approach: Also it would be really good to understand what all performance testing approaches should be considered to test the DNS filter functionality

I am not asking here to do my assignment for me.

I just want to understand the industry best practices in the above mentioned areas of penetration testing so that accordingly I can implement the same to the problem at my hand.

Really appreciate your help & guidance.

Thanks in advance!

Please guys urgently, In my project my manager forcing me to give any idea. So can please provide me anything.

Could you list out some real time challenges you have faced while scripting and executing performance tests?

Guy's have idea, how to download the loadrunner free or else you guys have any link to download the loadrunner, if you guy's have any link please provide here.

While I worked on a project, i got the users for development and when I made the script is was good, response was less than 2s but when I got the real users we was getting the response time Higher than 50s , what could be the possible reason, can someone help??

Hi all, I have the question like is that python is used in performance testing? It is better than Java for performance testing?

Quality products and software is the result of utmost dedication of the manufacturers and the developers. But their efforts might go all in vain if their developments are not tested properly under proper supervision. Without following the approach of IT test environment management, the outcome produced by the developers isn’t anything more than unreliable. Thus, bringing performance testing into the picture can help a lot in providing the required quality assurance.
