Method and system for testing performance of software

The invention provides a method and a system for testing the performance of software. The method includes steps of connecting a test host with an intelligent terminal and enabling the test host to start the tested software installed on the intelligent terminal; carrying out application operation on the tested software and recording operation information of the application operation in a script recording mode; monitoring current application operation states in real time, replaying application operation procedures with failures by the aid of scripts when the tested software fails in the application operation procedures; storing the application operation procedures with the failures on the test host and determining the performance of the tested software according to the stored application operation procedures with the failures. The application operation procedures with the failures are replayed by the aid of the scripts. According to the scheme, the method and the system have the advantages that the scripts are started, the application operation on the tested software is recorded by the aid of the scripts, accordingly, test steps can be simplified, and the test efficiency can be improved.
