Performance Testing

Find the bottlenecks, breaking points, and capacity limits in your application before real users or a traffic spike do—with load, stress, and scalability testing built around your busiest moments.

Find bottlenecks before your customers encounter them.

Quick answer

What are performance testing services?

Performance testing services measure how an application, API, or website behaves under realistic and peak user load. Integr8e runs load, stress, spike, soak, and scalability tests, then delivers a report identifying bottlenecks, capacity limits, and root causes with clear recommendations.

  • API, web & mobile performance testing
  • Bottleneck & root-cause analysis
  • Capacity planning & scaling recommendations

Business outcomes

Find your breaking point before your customers do.

Integr8e approaches performance testing as a business capability—not an isolated technical task. Priorities stay connected to the users, operations and results behind the work.

01

Fewer outages under real load

Find the response-time, error-rate, and resource limits that appear only under concurrent user load—before a launch, sale, or marketing push exposes them.

02

Confident capacity planning

Get evidence-based throughput and scaling numbers instead of guessing how many servers, containers, or database connections you actually need.

03

Faster, more reliable releases

Catch performance regressions in CI/CD before they reach production, with clear pass/fail thresholds tied to real user experience.

04

Lower infrastructure cost

Right-size infrastructure against measured capacity instead of over-provisioning for traffic that may never arrive.

What we deliver

Performance testing services covering load, scale, and real-world traffic.

One connected team covers the decisions and delivery work needed to move from uncertainty to a dependable outcome.

01

Load testing

Simulate expected and peak concurrent users against your application, API, or website to measure response time, throughput, and error rate under realistic traffic.

02

Stress & spike testing

Push the system beyond expected limits and simulate sudden traffic spikes to find the exact point where performance degrades or the system fails.

03

Soak & endurance testing

Run sustained load over hours or days to catch memory leaks, connection exhaustion, and degradation that only appears over time.

04

Scalability & volume testing

Test how the application behaves as users, data volume, or concurrent transactions grow, and identify where it stops scaling linearly.

05

API & backend performance testing

Measure latency, throughput, and failure behaviour of REST and GraphQL APIs, queues, and backend services under concurrent load.

06

Web & mobile performance testing

Test page load, Core Web Vitals, and mobile app responsiveness across networks, devices, and realistic user conditions.

07

Bottleneck & root-cause analysis

Correlate application, database, network, and infrastructure metrics to pinpoint the exact cause of a slowdown, not just where it appears.

08

Reporting & CI/CD integration

Deliver clear performance reports with p95/p99 latency, throughput, and error-rate baselines, and wire performance gates into your deployment pipeline.

Is this the right fit?

Best suited for product and engineering teams preparing for a launch, sale, or traffic spike, migrating infrastructure, or investigating slow response times, timeouts, or scaling limits under real user load.

Not every challenge needs the same team or solution. We start by testing the business case, current constraints and fastest credible route to value—then recommend a scope that fits the evidence.

Discuss your requirements

How delivery works

A clear path from first question to lasting value.

The plan adapts to your context, while short feedback loops and visible milestones keep the engagement controlled.

  1. 01

    Define

    Agree the critical journeys, target load, concurrent users, and pass/fail thresholds that matter for your business, not generic benchmarks.

  2. 02

    Model

    Design realistic test scenarios and traffic patterns based on production analytics, seasonality, and expected growth.

  3. 03

    Execute

    Run load, stress, spike, soak, and scalability tests against a production-like environment using the agreed scenarios.

  4. 04

    Analyse

    Correlate application, database, network, and infrastructure metrics to isolate the root cause of every bottleneck found.

  5. 05

    Report & retest

    Deliver prioritised findings and capacity recommendations, then retest after fixes to confirm the improvement holds under load.

What are performance testing services?

Performance testing services measure how an application, API, or website behaves under realistic and peak user load. Integr8e runs load, stress, spike, soak, and scalability tests, then delivers a report identifying bottlenecks, capacity limits, and root causes with clear recommendations.

What is the difference between load testing and stress testing?

Load testing measures behaviour under expected or peak traffic to confirm the system meets performance targets. Stress testing deliberately pushes beyond those limits to find the exact point of failure and how the system recovers, which load testing alone won't reveal.

Which types of performance testing does Integr8e provide?

Integr8e provides load testing, stress testing, spike testing, soak (endurance) testing, scalability and volume testing, and API, web, and mobile performance testing, scoped to the journeys and traffic patterns that matter most to your business.

What metrics does a performance test report include?

Reports typically include response time (including p95/p99 latency), throughput, error rate, concurrent user capacity, and resource utilisation, correlated with application, database, network, and infrastructure metrics to explain the cause of each bottleneck.

How much load can you simulate in a performance test?

Simulated load is scoped to your real or projected traffic—from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users—using cloud-based load generation. We size the test against production analytics rather than an arbitrary number.

How long does a performance testing engagement take?

A focused load test against a defined journey typically takes one to two weeks including analysis; broader engagements covering multiple journeys, environments, or a retest cycle take longer. Timing is confirmed after scoping your application and traffic goals.

Can performance testing run in our CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. Integr8e can wire load and performance checks into your build or deployment pipeline with defined pass/fail thresholds, so a performance regression is caught before release instead of after a customer reports it.

Do you provide capacity planning recommendations, not just a report?

Yes. Alongside the bottleneck findings, Integr8e provides concrete scaling and infrastructure recommendations—what to fix, what to provision, and what to retest—so the findings translate into an action plan, not just a diagnosis.
