What To Look For In Application Performance?

Application performance could be gauged in terms of its ease of use, and the user experience affords. However, there are other components within performance of an application that may be more preferred above others.

Application performance needs to be studied in context of the transaction that the application is being used for. Performance can be outlined in terms of business requirement. These can include essentials such as number of users expected, response time, end-user experience, working together with other applications, etc.

Designed for the Cloud

Most small businesses are turning to the Cloud for the advantages it offers. You may need to ensure that your application performance will not be affected by working in the Cloud. Cloud apps need different infrastructure and you may need to check whether it is in place or not; pay special attention to tier dependencies in the case of complex apps.

Check infrastructure and application interplay

The performance of your application is dependent on both, the platform it runs on, as well as the infrastructure supporting the platform. If you want optimum performance, you must not forget storage capacity; without adequate storage, it is nearly impossible to have an application performing at its peak.

End-user experience

For applications involved in active transactions, it is worthwhile to check out the end-user experience as well. Applications designed around the transaction they are supposed to carry out, have a better chance of delivering on expectation regarding performance. This is especially true in the face of new technologies that are constantly emerging.
