Testing, today, is not looked upon as just a phase in the software development life cycle. A planned cycle for test design and execution is as important as cycle for entire project. Typically, Test life cycle comprises of three major phases, test planning, test case design and test execution of which test case design is a primary component, where test cases are identified.

Introduction:

1. Providing secure products to the marketplace has become ever increasingly more important for all customers. For this reason, an overall strategy needs to be employed that will provide robust product security. However, robust environments cannot rely on a single control mechanism to ensure a secure environment. Layering multiple security controls provides the best defense against malicious attacks, which provides time for administrators to identify and address security issues as they arise.

System Performance Bottlenecks - Analysis & Management

Performance testing is conducted to evaluate the compliance of the system to the performance requirements as defined in the Service level agreement. Bottleneck is a factor that limits the meeting of the performance requirement. Bottleneck is one such thing that can crop up at any user load and at any of the layer in the technology stack. A proactive measure based on mathematical modeling or a reactive approach based on detailed analysis is required to handle system performance bottleneck.
