Performance Tester

The Performance Test Engineer ensures systems meet performance benchmarks through the design and execution of performance, load, and stress tests. The role involves identifying bottlenecks, analyzing system behavior under varying workloads, and collaborating with Solution Architects, Technical Leads, and test administration teams to align with nonfunctional requirements, standards, and governance.

Roles & Responsibilities:

1. Develop the Performance Test Plan and ensure it is reviewed and approved by all relevant stakeholders.
2. Design, develop, and execute performance, load, and stress tests to assess system behavior under various conditions.
3. Perform workload modeling based on nonfunctional requirements, with consideration to the system’s architecture blueprint and performance objectives.
4. Analyze performance test results to identify bottlenecks and provide actionable recommendations for system optimization.
5. Collaborate with development, infrastructure, and QA teams to ensure performance requirements are met and that the test environment is properly configured, including integration with all relevant Systems of Record (SORs).
6. Maintain performance test scripts, test data, and related documentation to support ongoing performance validation efforts.
7. Generate and communicate regular reports on system scalability, reliability, and responsiveness.
8. Document the Performance Test Results and secure sign-off from all designated stakeholders.

Experience:

• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in performance testing using industry standard tools such as LoadRunner (LR), Apache JMeter, Neoload, or StresStimulus.
• Proven experience in designing and implementing performance test strategies, including workload modeling based on nonfunctional requirements and system architecture blueprints.
• Demonstrated ability to identify bottlenecks and collaborate with development, infrastructure, and test administration teams for system tuning and optimization.
