Performance testing goals seek to answer questions regarding server processing, and client response times for a single user. The primary goal of performance testing is to tune the system to achieve maximum performance, [e.g. execute a given amount of work (transactions) in the least amount of time (transactions per second (TPS)]. 

Test Studio, from Telerik, has long been capable of performance testing. Any Test Studio functional test can also be used as a performance test. To execute a performance test in Test Studio, there are just three steps: 1) Create or select an existing web functional test that satisfies ...

The difference turns out to be a lot! To start with load and performance testing goals are very different.

Load testing goals usually seek to answer questions regarding system capacity, throughput, and client response times for multiple concurrent users. For example, how many concurrent users can the system successfully accommodate? Or how many transactions per second can the system successfully process? Or can the system successfully scale to 1,000 users? Whereas performance testing goals seek to answer questions regarding server processing, and client response times for a single user. The primary goal of performance testing is to tune the system ...

Telerik’s TeamPulse is a terrific project management tool for boosting communication in and between projects. We’re constantly looking for ways to better integrate Test Studio with TeamPulse to clearly communicate quality metrics around your automated tests back to the projects.

We’ve had integration tying tests to acceptance criteria in TeamPulse for some time, but with Test Studio’s 2012 R1 release we’ve kicked up the integration another notch: You can now push bug reports from Test Studio directly to your TeamPulse projects from anywhere you can examine a failing test: the test explorer, test results calendar, or test list details.
