If an application has stunning UX and boasts of\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">innovative features, but lacks on the performance scale \u2013 it is bound to fail. Consequently, the business will lose customers and will have to face a fatal blow on its standing in the market and among the end users. So much so, that the customers won\u2019t trust them easily in the future either. Therefore, a lot depends on how well or how poorly an application performs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Digital transformation might be the front-facing need of the hour.

Amidst the unprecedented events that have been taking place since the beginning of the pandemic, customer demands have evolved rapidly while their patience levels have decreased considerably. In order to get some level of stability, certainty, and control, customers are investing their trust in only those organizations\u2019 products &amp; solutions that rank high on all the parameters of performance, design, usability, accessibility, resilience, security, among others.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the frenzy to deliver their offerings to the end users at high speed, organizations often fall short on the qualitative aspects. Today, speed is important but so is quality. End users are not looking for warp-speed feature deliveries.

While performance testing is a critical aspect of the overall QA practice, it is not sufficient. Running the performance test scripts at the end of a cycle may uncover critical performance issues, but by that time, organizations have already lost precious time, efforts, and resources. Reworking on those issues is necessary to deliver a high-performance, high-quality application, but that would also require the investment of additional time and resources. This results in increased costs and lower ROI.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cigniti.com\/services\/performance-engineering\/\" class=\"broken_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Performance<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0engineering<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, on the other hand, is a Quality Engineering perspective.
