Track: Performance Testing
Performance Testing is often a forgotten or forsaken tool by both project teams and business partners. The primary reason for this is that, traditionally, performance was never a concern until something happened (such as poor customer experiences). Couple this with the realization that it has been traditionally difficult to performance test an application until it is stable – and software often isn”t stable until after it is released. These factors, among many, affect the perceived value, or lack thereof, in performance testing. Most large scale enterprise organizations have performance testing practices while small and mid-size companies rarely engage in performance testing. Even then, most companies only embark on performance testing once they encounter a significant performance issue in production. This sort of after-thought to performance testing is pervasive in the testing community. This creates challenges to properly implementing performance testing objectives, and even acceptance of the need for performance testing, among management. In this session we will discuss how to build a business case to support the implementation or expansion of performance testing in your organization. At the same time, we will cover aspects of performance testing that make it a first class citizen within the world of testing.
Session Takeaways:
- The difference between performance testing and performance engineering.
- Why performance issues are worse than production outages.
- How performance testing positively impacts revenue, operational expenses, and employee productivity.
- Typical user expectations of application performance.
