Abstract

Automated software has different dynamic behaviour during use when compared to general software application. Mostly these dynamic characteristics degrade the application performance during operation due to lack of understanding of performance requirement during testing. Mis-understanding on requirement for testing by the test engineer lead to loss of reputation, financial and operational loss to the community using the automated application. Software-performance issues are not only to be patched up by coding routines and pumping testing effort but, can be easily eliminated by inculcating the best practices during testing phase of the software development life cycle. Software-performance is the effective attribute to improve the maintainability and reliability of the software application. This paper outlines the various activities to be carried out during the testing phase of the lifecycle while developing the automated software to eliminate performance related issues during the software operations and maintenance. Moreover this paper also presents a set of performance testing taxonomy to inculcate efficient performance into the automated applications developed.
