Considerable Factors Before Performing Failover Testing
- The budget has to be the first thing to be taken into consideration before thinking about performing the Failover test.
- The budget is connected to the frameworks that might crash or break down under pressure/load.
- Always keep in mind how much time it will take to fix all the issues caused by the failure of the system.
- Note down the most likely failures and organize the outcomes according to how much harm is caused by the failure.
Considerable Factors While Performing Failover Testing
- Keep a plan of measures to be taken after performing a test.
- Focus on the execution of the test plan.
- Set up a benchmark so that performance requirements can be achieved.
- Prepare a report concerning issue requirements and/or requirements of the asset.
Failover Testing in Software Testing
Software products/services are tested multiple times before delivery to ensure that it is providing the required service. Testing before delivery doesn’t guarantee that no problem will occur in the future. Even sometimes the software application fails due to some unwanted event due to network issues or due to server-related problems. Failover testing aims to respond to these types of failures.
Suppose that the PC gets off due to some technical issue, and on restarting we open the browser, then a pop-up is shown saying Do you want to restore all pages? On clicking restore, all tabs are restored. The process of ensuring such restorations is known as FAILOVER TESTING.
