Testing Glossary - Benchmarking

To a certain degree load testing, stress testing & benchmarking, all describe the same kind of process. They all use a community of virtual users to submit a workload to real hardware and software. Benchmarking has been used for decades to describe
  • real application stressing
  • sizing of undeveloped applications
  • competitive positioning by vendors of servers and networks

Sizing is an estimate of the vendor's proposed configuration usually in response to an RFP or Request for Proposal.
