Performance testing is used for testing the risk to application and technology. It requires web server and database server within infrastructure. In this paper, we designed different scenarios which include on-premise, infrastructure partly and completely deployed on cloud. Specifi cally three scenarios we have compared are onpremises, database in cloud and web application with database in cloud. The objective of this design paper is to identify the applicability of these three scenarios to different contexts. The key parameters of performance measurement like response time and throughput have been captured and analyzed to meet the objective mentioned.
