What is Application Performance Testing

Application Performance Testing refers to tasks that aim to determine whether an application is performing as expected and, if not, how the problem can be corrected. Application performance testing requires a utility to gather data about the application itself as well as data about the machine where the application is running and the network through which the application sends data. Application performance testing can be simplified by creating dashboard views of critical metrics.
