Performance, Load & QA

We scale existing software: profiling, load and stress testing, automated test suites and QA before every release.

What you get

  • Performance baseline and profiling
  • Load, stress and soak testing against real scenarios
  • Database and query optimisation
  • Automated regression suites in CI

How we approach it

Our approach to Performance, Load & QA.

  1. 01

    Measure before changing anything

    We record response times, throughput and error rates under realistic traffic so every improvement can be proven.

  2. 02

    Load and stress test

    Scripted tests push your system past its expected peak to find the first component that fails, and the reason it fails.

  3. 03

    Fix what the data points to

    Slow queries, missing indexes, cache gaps or under-sized infrastructure are fixed in order of impact.

  4. 04

    Keep it fixed with automation

    Regression and performance checks run in CI, so the same problems cannot quietly return in a later release.

FAQ

Questions about Performance, Load & QA.

Ask us something else →
What is the difference between load and stress testing?

Load testing checks how the system behaves at expected traffic. Stress testing pushes beyond it to find the breaking point and how the system recovers.

Can you test a system that is already live?

Yes. We usually test against a production-like staging environment, and only run carefully limited tests against production itself.

Do you also provide ongoing QA?

Yes. We can build automated test suites, run manual QA before releases, or embed a QA engineer in your team.

How we scale existing software

Software already in production and under strain? We identify the limits before your users do.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    Measure current response times, throughput and error rates under realistic traffic.

  2. 02

    Load & stress test

    Push beyond expected peaks to identify the first point of failure and its cause.

  3. 03

    Resolve bottlenecks

    Queries, caching, queues or infrastructure — changes guided by the data.

  4. 04

    Re-test & safeguard

    Confirm the improvement, then keep performance checks in CI.
