Performance testing is a subset of performance engineering, an emerging computer science practice which strives to build performance into the implementation, design and architecture of a system.

Performance testing can serve different purposes.

Performance testing is frequently used as part of the process of performance profile tuning.

Performance testing can be performed across the web, and even done in different parts of the country, since it is known that the response times of the internet itself vary regionally.

Performance testing technology employs one or more PCs or Unix servers to act as injectors – each emulating the presence of numbers of users and each running an automated sequence of interactions ( recorded as a script, or as a series of scripts to emulate different types of user interaction ) with the host whose performance is being tested.

Performance testing can be combined with stress testing, in order to see what happens when an acceptable load is exceeded – does the system crash?
