Abstract

Software quality management is a critical segment of development process of a software for the quality engineers. It becomes even more tedious and complex task when the development shifts to usage of Agile tools and techniques. As the methodologies and issues managed in the Agile Software Development (ASD) framework are absolutely poles apart from conventional software development quality assurance architecture and testing phenomenal. In ASD a concentration on people is more focused than processes and methods. Moreover an ASD Test plan is energetic throughout the development process resulting in a high quality product through rigorous feedback and analysis. ASD test plans are written after every phase and release of software where load and performance testing is one of the key elements. The fourth quadrant of the Agile testing (load and performance testing) concentrates on the non-functional requirements such as performance, security and stability. Apache’s open source testing tool – JMeter – has been used for quality improvement of open source software for Load testing. It is a java based application used to analyze the performance of software, application and web pages with feature of reliable ...
