Read MoreDifference between process.cwd & _ _dirname in NodeJS
NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime environment that was built on top of Chrome's V8 engine. The traditional use of JavaScript is to be executed in browsers, but with Node.JS we can execute JavaScript other than browsers like servers, hardware devices, etc.process.cwd()The process object lies under the global object known as 'global'. This method provides information about the current process of Node.js. It also provides control over the same. cwd refers to the current working directory of the same. Therefore, process.cwd returns the working directory on which execution is taking place currently.__dirnameThis is a local module that will return the directory ...
Read MoreDifference between console.log and process.stdout.write in NodeJS
Both the methods – console.log and process.stdout.write have a basic definition to write or print the statements on the console. But, there is a slight difference in the way they execute these tasks. Internally, console.log implements process.stdout.write which itself is a buffer stream that will be used to directly print statements on your console.process.stdout.writeconsole.logIt continuously prints information as retrieved from the stream without adding any new line.It first prints the information being retrieved and then adds a new line. Then it will go to retrieve the second set of statements to print.The process.stdout.write method takes only string as paramter. Other ...

Read MoreWhat is Spike Testing? Learn With Example
Spike testing is a type of performance testing used to determine an application's behavior when exposed to extreme traffic variations. In spike tests, the app is revealed to sudden decrease and increase in load. The results are then analyzed based on factors like −Does the app crash?Does the app slow down?How long it takes the app to switch back to normal?Accumulating test results, the developers determine when and where the application fails and then take necessary actions for performance improvement.Example of Spike TestingLet's say X University is all set to upload the results on its official site at 1 −30 ...
Read MoreWhat is Soak Testing? Definition, Meaning, Examples
Soak testing is a non-functional performance testing under which an application is exposed to a continuous load for a pre-determined period. It is also known as Longevity testing and Endurance testing.The term 'soak' itself explained the test's purpose. Let's consider yourself pulling a rope on one end while your friend pulls it on the other end. Now, if you pull it for one hour, it won't affect the rope much. However, if both of you continue to pull it for days, the rope might eventually break.The same rules apply to software as well. When software faces a high load, it may ...
Read MoreWhat is Response Time Testing?
A tester measures an app or site performance by collecting various data during a load or stress test. However, every test starts with sending a request to an application. Once a request is sent, the tester calculates the app's response time by estimating how much time it takes to respond to the specific request. Let's understand response time with real-life examples −Offline exampleLet's assume you are standing at the checkout counter of a grocery store. The cashier takes three minutes to process the products. Now, if you have a lot of customers waiting in front of you, that means you will ...
