About Endurance & Soak Testing

About Endurance & Soak Testing illustration

Some of the most serious performance issues only surface over time. A system that can handle a one-hour peak load might fail after a full day of moderate use due to subtle problems like memory leaks or resource exhaustion. Our Endurance & Soak Testing service is designed to uncover these hidden, time-dependent defects. We subject your application to a sustained, realistic user load for an extended period—typically 8 to 48 hours. Throughout this "soak" period, we meticulously monitor key health indicators like memory consumption, CPU usage, and database connection pools. This long-duration testing is the only reliable way to detect gradual performance degradation and ensure your system's long-term stability.

Our Framework

1
Step 1

Define Test Duration & Load

We work with you to define the parameters of the test. We determine a realistic, max user load to apply and establish the test duration (e.g., 2, 3, 4 or more hours) based on your system's operational requirements and risk factors.

2
Step 2

System Monitoring Setup

We configure in-depth monitoring across your entire application stack. This includes setting up alerts and logging for memory usage, CPU cycles, garbage collection, database connection pools, and other key stability indicators.

Step 3

Long-Duration Test Execution

We execute the endurance test, applying a steady load to the system for the entire predefined duration. Our team actively monitors the system throughout the test for any signs of performance degradation or resource exhaustion.

Step 4

Analyze Performance Over Time

After the test concludes, we analyze the collected monitoring data. We look for negative trends, such as a gradual increase in memory consumption (indicating a leak) or slowly degrading response times over the test period.

Step 5

Stability & Leakage Reporting

You receive a detailed report that highlights the system's stability over time. We pinpoint the root cause of any identified memory leaks or resource contention issues, providing clear recommendations for your development team to resolve them.

1

Uncover Hard-to-Find Memory Leaks

Endurance testing is the most effective way to detect subtle memory leaks and resource management bugs that short-term performance tests will always miss.

2

Validate Your System's Long-Term Stability

Gain confidence that your application can run reliably for days or weeks at a time without needing a restart, ensuring consistent availability for your users.

3

Prevent Gradual Performance Degradation

Ensure your application is as fast on Friday evening as it was on Monday morning. We find the issues that cause systems to slow down over continuous use.
