There are several types of performance testing, each serving different purposes:

  1. Load Testing: Normal expected load conditions
  2. Stress Testing: Beyond normal capacity until breaking point
  3. Spike Testing: Sudden increases in load for short periods
  4. Volume Testing: Large amounts of data processing
  5. Endurance Testing: Extended periods of normal load
  6. Scalability Testing: System's ability to scale up or down
  7. Baseline Testing: Establishing performance benchmarks

Each type helps understand different aspects of system performance and reliability.
