Track: Performance Testing
This session will cover the expansive understanding of performance testing metrics and how they can be used to drive quality initiatives upstream and downstream in the application lifecycle. Too often today we see that performance measurements (CPU, DISK, MEMORY, NETWORK) are left out of early testing automation and pass/fail criteria, when it would be absolutely more cost-effective if we could find and fix those bottlenecks earlier. Testers who are new to performance testing success criteria will learn new ways to correlate and analyze performance measurements and extrapolate the results in a reliable and repeatable way. Testers who are interested in taking their bug-finding skills to a whole new level will be delighted to expand into performance-related testing investigation, exploration and risk analysis.

Mark Tomlinson – Performance Guru, West Evergreen Consulting, LLC
Mark Tomlinson has 18 years experience in the software technology industry. His introduction to application testing began with a comprehensive, 2-year test for a life-critical transportation system which thrust him into the forefront of software quality assurance and naturally test automation. In short, his job was to prevent trains from running into each other and he has metaphorically been preventing “train wrecks” for his customers for nearly 18 years since that time. He has extensive experience with real-world scenario testing of very large and complex systems. He is regarded as an expert and leader in software testing automation with specific emphasis in performance engineering.
