Job Description:
Come join an exciting team within Global Information Security (GIS). Cyber Security Technology (CST) is a globally distributed team responsible for cyber security innovation and architecture, engineering, solutions and capabilities development, cyber resiliency, access management engineering, data strategy, deployment maintenance, technical project management and information technology security control support.The primary objective of a Performance Tester (PT) is to determine whether performance metrics measured for an application do not exceed the threshold established as acceptable performance SLA'sThe performance testing team will also determine whether performance of the application environment has not degraded due to the implementation of new features. The Performance tester validates that the system meets performance criteria by comparing two systems to find which performs with greater efficiency. He/She will also measure which system component or workload cause the system to perform inefficiently.There are two main tasks where the performance tester is expected to have sole ownership and be able to design, script, execute, analyze and report on: A load test is usually conducted to understand the behavior of the system under a specific expected load and the performance tester is expected to carry out this task end to end. This load can be the expected concurrent number of users on the application performing a specific number of transactions within the set duration. This test will give out the response times of all the important business critical transactions. Database, application server and other components are also monitored during the test, as this will assist in identifying bottlenecks in the application software and hardware.Stress testing is normally used to understand the upper limits of capacity within the system. This kind of test is done to determine the system's robustness in terms of extreme load and helps application administrators to determine if the system will perform sufficiently if the current load goes well above the expected maximum.Responsibilities include:- Work on end to end performance testing for multiple applications
- Ascertain and understand application architecture involved in the test
