This document discusses performance testing to ensure applications can handle expected workloads. Performance testing evaluates an application's responsiveness, throughput, reliability and scalability under various workloads. If applications do not perform adequately, it can result in lost revenue, customers, productivity and damage to brands. The performance testing process involves identifying test environments, designing and executing tests, analyzing results, and identifying performance acceptance criteria. Benefits of performance testing include assessing release readiness, improving efficiency, and evaluating infrastructure adequacy.
