Testing & Quality

What is Performance Testing?

Testing response times, throughput, and resource use under expected and peak load, including load, stress, and volume tests.

ERP performance tests target critical dialogs, batch jobs such as MRP or billing, and interfaces at month-end volumes. Results are analyzed with ST03N, traces, and database tools. It is often required before go-live for large user bases.
