As the rate of delivery for applications and services continues to rise, performance testing often takes a backseat in the race to delivering apps on-time. This 2022 holiday season is expected to be bigger than ever, with holiday shopping growing 15.5% to $236 billion. During this make-or-break time of year, companies can’t afford for their apps to become unreliable under heavy load.  

With many people working from home and the increase in online shopping, the use of web and mobile apps are at an all-time-high in terms of concurrent users. The performance of your web and mobile apps directly impacts brand perception and can impact your bottom line. Over 40% of people abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load and 33% would consider switching providers permanently upon encountering quality of performance issues with 3rd party APIs.  

Whether you’re ahead or only starting to think about performance testing, it’s time to take it a step farther and ensure both API and web application function properly under heavy load. 

We will cover: 

  • The value of API load testing – why is it important 
  • Performance pitfalls to avoid 
  • Key areas of focus for load testing in preparation for the holiday season  
  • Overcoming the most common performance challenges  
  • How to begin load testing at the API layer  
  • Live Q&A 

If you can’t attend, register anyway to receive the recording! Looking forward to seeing you there.

Webinar: How to Build Automation-Ready API Tests with ReadyAPI

The main challenge of manual API testing is its lack of scalability, as it relies on labor-intensive, human effort that becomes increasingly slow and prone to error as the number of endpoints and required regression cycles grow.
