  11. Performance Testing Back to Basics

  12. What is Performance Testing? ?

  13. What is Performance Testing? performance testing is in general testing performed to determine how a system performs in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload? Wikipedia 2013

  14. What is Performance Testing? Load Testing Stress Testing Soak Testing Spike Testing Configuration Testing Isolation Testing

  15. Some History

  16. Traditional Performance Testing understand the volumes Model the business processes Run experiments (tests) Measure performance indicators (response time, cpu etc.) Tune if needed Sign off report

  17. Some History

  18. Some History

  19. Some History

  20. From This

  21. To This

  22. Applications have changed More complex functionality Minimal defined business processes Diverse Public Internet Use of services (homegrown and third party) Cacheing Increased Client functionality (javascript etc.)

  23. Applications have changed Cloud computing Multiple client platforms (tablet, mobile etc.) Push technology

  24. Traditional Performance Testing Focus on IT/IS requirements Too difficult to model the entire application Length of time it takes to run a performance test Models have too many variables to be reliable Problems

  25. As applications have increased in complexity and application usage has become more diverse we have developed new tools and approaches to help us predict and manage the performance of applications New Approaches to Performance

  26. Synthetic testing (traditional perf testing) A/B testing Instrumentation/Analytics (RUM) React Fast Over_Provision Third Party tools New Approaches to Performance

  49. What to Test? Information used to prioritize testing New technology Heavy usage Spikes in usage Key revenue generators Customer goals (or hot buttons)

  50. What to Test? As it has become harder to model and test an entire application, being able to identify which areas of an application are key for performance is now more important than ever
