Performance Testers

Skills
  • Ramp-up testing
  • Retesting after fixes
  • Threshold reviews
  • Response-time thresholds agreed with you upfront
  • Load scenarios modeled
  • Test scripts
Engagement models
  • Full-time dedicated
Stack
  • load tests
  • Test scripts
  • staging environment
  • bottleneck
  • load-generation tools
  • Ramp-up testing

Typical tasks

  • Load scenarios modeled on real usage patterns
  • Ramp-up testing, not just flat concurrency
  • Response-time thresholds agreed with you upfront
  • Bottleneck isolated to database, app or network
  • Clear reports engineers can act on directly
  • Retesting after fixes to confirm the gain

Everything you need to run the engagement smoothly

  • Dedicated to your application

    The tester works only on your load tests, not spread across other clients' launches.

  • Direct communication

    You and your team talk to the tester directly, with no extra layer in between.

  • Flexible contracts

    Full time, part time, or scoped to a launch. Scale up or down with notice.

  • Threshold reviews

    Response-time and error-rate thresholds are agreed upfront and reported against clearly.

  • Timezone overlap

    Working hours arranged to overlap with your team for test windows and retesting.

  • No-cost replacement

    If the tester is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost during the engagement.

Why teams hire performance testers through TCB Infotech

  • We load test our own systems

    We run load tests on our own ERP and software builds before major releases, so our testers are screened on real bottleneck work, not trivia.

  • Fast, honest shortlisting

    You see 2 to 3 profiles, not a stack of resumes, and we tell you plainly if a fit is not right.

  • Direct access, no relay

    You and your team work with the tester directly, on your tools and your launch calendar.

  • Results you can keep

    Test scripts and results history are documented and handed over cleanly if the engagement ends.

  • No long lock-in

    Scale the engagement up or down with notice, based on the launches you actually have.

From requirements to a working performance tester in about two weeks

  1. Share requirements

    Tell us your application, expected traffic, and the release or launch you are testing against.

  2. Shortlist

    We match testers by load-tool experience and send you 2 to 3 profiles within days.

  3. Interview

    You interview the shortlist directly and pick the tester who fits your stack and your team.

  4. Onboard

    The tester reviews your architecture and traffic patterns and runs the first load test in the first week.

  5. Scale as needed

    Move the tester to scoped engagements before each major launch, or keep them on for ongoing capacity work.

Hiring performance testers, answered

What does a dedicated performance tester do?

They design load tests that simulate realistic traffic, measure response times and error rates as load increases, identify the specific bottleneck, whether it is database, application or network, and report thresholds against your targets.

How is a performance tester different from an automation tester?

An automation tester checks that features work correctly on every build. A performance tester checks how the application behaves under load, which is a different skill set built around load-generation tools and bottleneck diagnosis rather than functional coverage.

Do you test for a specific number of concurrent users?

Yes. We agree target concurrency and response-time thresholds with you upfront, based on your actual or expected traffic, and test against those numbers rather than generic benchmarks.

Can performance testing be done on our existing production environment?

We strongly recommend testing on a staging environment that mirrors production, to avoid impacting real users, and can help set that environment up if you do not already have one.

What is the engagement model?

You can hire full time, part time, or scoped to a specific load test before a major launch. Contracts scale around your release calendar.

What if the tester is not the right fit?

We replace the tester at no extra cost during the engagement, and hand over test scripts and results history to the new one.
