%% Last Updated: - [[2021-02-25]] %% [[Continuous Improvement]] in [[Performance Testing]] is a testing approach that views performance testing as one of many concurrent activities rather than a separate step or phase in the [[Software Development Lifecycle|SDLC]]. ## Ways to practice continuous improvement in peformance testing - Schedule tests to run regularly. - Add load testing to a [[Continuous Improvement|CICD]] pipeline. - Run full load tests as well as smaller automated tests to measure performance. - Employ [[Frontend performance testing]] via [[Real User Monitoring|RUM]] as well as [[Backend performance testing]] via [[Synthetic monitoring]] in production as well as in pre-production environments. - Empower developers and functional testers to contribute to performance testing code.
