Performance Testing
Load, stress, spike and soak testing with JMeter and k6 — identify bottlenecks, validate performance benchmarks, and get a prioritised report with actionable recommendations before your users find the problems.
Everything in one engagement
Simulates expected production traffic to validate your application performs within defined benchmarks under normal peak load conditions.
Pushes beyond expected load to find your breaking point — where performance degrades, where the system fails under extreme conditions.
Simulates sudden dramatic traffic increases — the kind caused by a marketing campaign, news mention, or product going viral overnight.
Sustained load over extended periods. Uncovers memory leaks, database connection exhaustion, and issues that only appear under prolonged stress.
Validates that adding infrastructure resources improves performance proportionally — critical before auto-scaling decisions.
Performance regression tests run on every release. Catch slowdowns before they reach production users.
How we work together
Establish what good looks like — response time targets, throughput requirements, acceptable error rates under various load levels.
Script realistic user journeys — not just homepage hits but full user flows with authentication, data reads and writes.
Run test scenarios with real-time monitoring at every infrastructure layer — app, database, cache, network.
Detailed report with bottleneck identification, root cause analysis, and prioritised infrastructure recommendations.
The stack I use
A one-second delay in response time reduces conversions by 7%. Find your bottlenecks before your users do.
Common questions
k6 for modern developer-friendly testing with great CI integration. JMeter for teams needing GUI-based test building or existing JMeter investments.
Before major launches, after significant architectural changes, and as part of your regular release cycle for regression detection.
Response times (p50, p95, p99), throughput, error rates, CPU/memory usage, database query times, and cache hit rates.
Yes — including timeout behaviour, circuit breaker patterns, and degraded performance under third-party slowdowns.
What clients say
"Exceptional work — thorough, timely, and clearly communicated at every stage. Our release confidence improved dramatically."
"Reliable and detail-oriented. The framework saves our team hours every sprint. Brilliant at catching edge cases nobody else found."
"Brought real structure and professionalism to our QA process. Proactive, technically strong, and genuinely invested in our product."
