Performance Testing

Performance testing that catches the slowdown before your users do

Performance testing usually happens once, right before launch, if at all. Robonito tracks response times, checks how your app behaves under load, and flags performance regressions between releases, so slow pages don't sneak into production.

Teams that refuse to trade speed for quality ship with Robonito

01The problem

Nobody notices it got slower until a customer does

Functional tests say the feature works. They don't say it now takes longer to load than it did last month.

01 / 03

Performance checked too late

Speed and load checks get scheduled for the end of the project, when there's no time left to fix what they find.

02 / 03

Gradual regressions

Each release adds a little latency. No single change looks bad, but together they turn a fast checkout into a slow one.

03 / 03

Results nobody can compare

One-off performance runs live in someone's spreadsheet, so 'was it this slow last release?' has no answer.

02Capabilities

Performance testing built into your regular test runs

Robonito treats performance as part of quality, not a separate project. Your team sees speed and stability alongside pass and fail.

Response time tracking

Measure how long key journeys and requests take, so you know whether a release made things faster or slower.

Response times
Journeys

Behavior under load

Check how your app behaves when demand rises, so you find weak spots before real traffic does.

Under load
Stability

Release-over-release comparison

Compare performance between builds to catch regressions early, while the change that caused them is still fresh.

Regressions
Releases

Duration trends in Reporting

Average duration and run history sit in the same reports as your functional results, so speed is part of every release conversation.

Reporting
Trends

Focused on real journeys

Point performance checks at the user journeys and API calls your team cares about most, so results map to experiences customers actually have.

UI journeys

Scheduled and CI/CD runs

Run performance checks on a schedule or from your CI/CD pipeline, so slowdowns are flagged as part of the release, not after it.

03How it works

How performance testing works with Robonito

1
Pick the journeys that matter
Choose the flows and endpoints where speed affects users most, like sign-in, search, or checkout.
2
Run and measure
Run the checks on demand, on a schedule, or in your pipeline, and record response times and behavior for each run.
3
Compare and act
Review trends across releases. When something slows down, the report shows where, and your team decides whether it blocks the release.

04Use cases

Where performance testing pays off

Checkout speed before peak season

A retail team checks checkout response times before a big sale and finds that a new recommendations call slowed down the cart page.

API latency after a dependency upgrade

After upgrading a library, a platform team compares response times with the last release and catches a slower search endpoint before customers notice.

Login under heavier demand

A SaaS team checks how sign-in behaves as more users arrive at once, ahead of a product launch email that will send traffic its way.

05Proof in every run

Performance data your team can trust

Speed numbers only help when they're consistent, comparable, and easy to share.

Timing for every run

Each run records how long journeys and requests took.

Proof you get: Average duration per run in Reporting

Release comparisons

See whether a build is faster or slower than the one before it.

Proof you get: Run history across releases

Shareable summary

Give stakeholders a clear view of performance next to pass rate and failures.

Proof you get: Downloadable PDF report

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is performance testing?

Performance testing checks how fast and stable an application is, including its response times and how it behaves under load. It helps teams find slowdowns and weak spots before users do. Robonito brings performance testing into your regular test runs, so speed is tracked release after release instead of checked once before launch.

Why does performance testing matter for every release?

Performance testing matters for every release because slowdowns usually build up gradually. A small delay added by one change is easy to miss, but several together can make a key flow noticeably slower. Checking performance on each release catches regressions while the cause is still easy to find and fix.

What is a performance regression?

A performance regression is when a new release makes part of your app slower or less stable than before, even though it still works functionally. Examples include a page that takes longer to load or an endpoint that responds more slowly. Robonito compares results between releases so these changes are flagged early.

How is performance testing different from load testing?

Load testing is one type of performance testing that focuses on how an app behaves under heavy demand. Performance testing is broader: it also covers everyday response times, stability, and changes between releases. Robonito helps teams look at both, so you understand normal speed as well as behavior under load.

How do I get started with performance testing in Robonito?

The best way to start is to book a demo with our team. We'll look at the journeys and endpoints that matter most to you and show how Robonito tracks response times, behavior under load, and regressions between releases. You can also start free with web test automation in the meantime.
