How many times we should do performance testing?
Performance testing encompasses load, volume, and stress testing to determine system bottlenecks and degradation points. A performance test helps to determine the optimal system settings to meet and fulfill the established SLAs.
The dedicated test team is the owner of the performance test. Performance tests are conducted primarily with automated test tools. In theory it is possible to conduct performance testing with manual test cases, but this proves highly impractical since it is not easily repeatable and requires both human and hardware resources that are often not available. A performance test, even if automated, can still include manual execution of interfaces, batch jobs, and external processes that send data into SAP.
The basis, database, and infrastructure teams help monitor the performance test, whereas the configuration team helps to identify test data and document test cases that are suitable for the performance test.
