Test Types

Six performance disciplines, one engineering mindset

Every performance engagement is built from these six techniques — combined to cover realistic traffic patterns, peak events and long-term stability.

Core Discipline

Load Testing

Simulate realistic production traffic on your platform to validate throughput, latency and stability under expected peak conditions — before your customers feel the impact.

12.4k

RPS

273ms

P95

0.24%

Errors

02

Stress Testing

Push systems past their limit to find the breaking point and the recovery behaviour.

03

Spike Testing

Simulate traffic surges (sales, launches) and validate autoscaling response.

Endurance

Soak tests that expose memory leaks & degradation

Scalability

Horizontal & vertical scaling benchmarks

Monitoring

Continuous APM & alert tuning in production

Bottleneck Hunting

We find the real bottleneck — not the loudest one.

Most performance problems aren't where they look. We correlate load-test signals with APM data (DB queries, cache hits, queue depth, GC pauses) to isolate the exact code path or infrastructure limit that's causing the slowdown.

  • Database Analysis

    Slow queries, N+1, lock contention

  • Cache Efficiency

    Hit rate, eviction, TTL tuning

  • Queue Depth

    Backlog growth under sustained load

  • Code Hot Paths

    CPU & memory flamegraphs

Tooling

Enterprise-grade performance tooling

We work with the tools your team already uses — and wire everything into a single performance report.

    Why Softfix

    Performance engineering, not just testing.

    Our performance engineers don't just run load tests — they trace the bottleneck to the code path, tune the infrastructure and validate the fix under real production conditions.

    FAQ

    Questions from platform & SRE teams

    If you don't find what you're looking for, our performance leads are happy to walk you through a tailored engagement.

    Talk to a performance engineer
    What's the difference between load, stress and spike testing?
    Load tests validate expected peak traffic. Stress tests push beyond that to find the breaking point. Spike tests simulate sudden surges (like a flash sale) to verify autoscaling and recovery.
    Do you run tests against production?
    Preferred practice is a staging environment sized like production. For critical flows we run controlled production tests with feature-flag isolation and detailed risk sign-off.
    How do you determine the target load?
    We combine your analytics (peak DAU, requests per session, seasonality) with business growth targets to model realistic and forward-looking load profiles.
    Which tools do you use?
    JMeter, k6, Locust and Gatling for load generation. APM via Grafana, New Relic, Datadog, Dynatrace or Prometheus, chosen to match your stack.
    How long does a performance engagement take?
    A focused performance audit takes 1–2 weeks. Full-cycle engagements (baseline, load, stress, tuning, retest) run 4–6 weeks per application.
