Performance Testing, is a type of testing performed to check how application or software performs under workload in terms of responsiveness and stability. The primary Goal is to identify and remove Performance bottlenecks from an application. This test is mainly performed to check whether the software meets the expected requirements for application speed, scalability, and stability. Providing the service of more than 20000 trains every day, Indian Railways is one of the world’s busiest rail networks. Carrying more than 2,00,00,000 crore people every day, More than 6,00,000 ticket booking is made through online. So to measure performance of the system there is a need for performance testing. To ensure the performance of the system with more number of transactions, this testing is performed using any one of the performance testing tools. In this system, IRCTC web site as a Case study and this site is tested with more than 1,00,000 virtual users and its performance is shown with the help of Graphical charts. It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server or group of servers, database, or network to test its strength, or to analyze overall performance under different load types.
