An Objective Take on AI in Performance Testing: Realities vs Perceptions

At this point, it looks like half of the people are so pro-AI that they ignore all of its faults. And the other half are so against it that they refuse to recognize its worth. You can be sure that both camps are missing out on a big chunk of quality. That's why this article's focus is the objective breakdown of AI-based performance testing.
  • We'll take a look at the state of traditional load tests.
  • Review the perks and limitations of AI in the field (as well as a few imaginary ones).
  • Figure out the most value-adding uses of artificial intelligence.
  • And analyze how to work with AI to get the most out of it.
Here we go.

Traditional vs AI Performance Testing

So, why are so many saying that conventional performance testing services don't cut it anymore? To figure it out, we need to recap how they work.

Illusions of AI Usability Testing, and How to Make It Work In Your Favor

AI can never replace people's creativity and intuition. But it's phenomenal with data. That's why it has found its place in an area that is considered human-led. AI for usability testing is gaining traction and already being called a game-changer. We prefer to skip loud titles and get to the bottom of things. So, let's figure out what artificial intelligence can do, where it fails, and whether it deserves your attention.

User Experience, Usability, & User Interface—A Brief Refresh

First, we need to understand why AI is being pushed into usability testing. Is it another gimmick or an actual revolution in how we do things? Let's start with getting to know usability and its relatives.

What Is Usability In Software?

Usability focuses on how an actual person uses your product. It includes the technical metrics, such as ease of navigation, and, to a degree, psychological aspects, such as the emotional response. So, let's say you've just downloaded a brand-new gam...

9 Questions to Ask When Considering Automated Performance Testing

The single metric of load time can make or break your conversion, user satisfaction, and revenue. Imagine what combined performance criteria can do to your app. You're well aware of the impact performance testing has on your product. And you know that it's tricky to run. That's why we're here to figure out how to simplify and refine it. So, let's learn how to productively couple automated software testing services and performance tests.

Can Performance Testing Be Automated?

Anything can be automated. The real question is, will that "anything" produce quality results when automated? Luckily, in the case of performance automation testing, the active phase (test runs and report generation) is fully executable by tools. You can even use AI to design investigation scenarios and ana...

Getting the Most out of AI Penetration Testing & Working Around Its Flaws

Give people enough time and they'll turn the most incredible thing evil. In the case of cybersecurity, however, the transformation process only took a few years. In 2022, AI usage exploded in popularity. In 2025, AI-powered attacks became the most prominent threat for companies. But for every knife that was found at a crime scene, there's another with which a loving mother cooked dinner for her family. So, while artificial intelligence is a thorn in cybersecurity's side, it's also a cherished helper. That's why today, we'll discuss its applications in one of the most effective forms of defense—penetration testing.

How AI-Powered Penetration Testing Came to Be

To fully appreciate the impact of AI on penetration testing, we should take a look at its evolution. By the end of our stroll down memory lane, you'll also notice something very curious about this pr...

Generative AI in Software Testing: a Salvation or a Disruption?

It all depends on how you use it. Sorry to everyone looking for a simple "yes" or "no," but let's be honest: it's all much more complicated than this. Some believe a Gen AI assistant is a magic pill, ready to answer all of your questions and automate most of your processes. Others are certain that AI, in its present form and the way people treat it, is another bubble. All that's left is to wait and see. But it doesn't mean you must ignore the trends and stay away from ChatGPT and Co. Just don't put too much trust in it—not yet. Generative AI is a technological breakthrough that's reshaping how product teams approach tasks—with testing among those. If you can complete something more effectively with less time, why not use that opportunity? The key is in the right approach, which should involve lots of critical thinking and fact-checking. Let's take a closer look at generative AI and software testing. In this article, we'll cover the opportunities and limitations that generative AI...
