A product launch, a campaign or a busy season can send more users to your application than it has ever handled. If it slows down or fails at that moment, you lose revenue and trust. PeakCyber’s load testing shows how your systems perform under expected and extreme traffic, so you can fix bottlenecks before your users find them.
What is load testing?
Load testing simulates realistic user traffic against your application to measure response times, error rates and resource use. Stress testing pushes beyond expected limits to find the breaking point and see how the system recovers. Both help you plan capacity and avoid surprises.
Types of tests we perform
- Load tests: behavior at expected and peak traffic
- Stress tests: behavior beyond capacity and graceful degradation
- Spike tests: sudden increases in traffic
- Soak (endurance) tests: stability over long periods, revealing memory leaks and resource exhaustion
- Scalability tests: how well autoscaling and added capacity actually help
- API and microservice tests: performance of individual services and dependencies
What we measure
- Response time and latency percentiles
- Throughput and concurrent users
- Error rates and failure modes
- CPU, memory, database and network utilization
- Database query and cache behavior
- Third-party dependency impact
Our approach
- Define business goals, user journeys and success criteria
- Build realistic test scenarios and prepare a safe test environment
- Run staged tests while monitoring systems end to end
- Analyze bottlenecks and root causes
- Report findings with prioritized tuning recommendations, then retest
What you receive
- Executive summary with capacity conclusions
- Detailed results and graphs
- Identified bottlenecks and recommended fixes
- A repeatable test setup you can reuse for future releases, where agreed
