Abstract
:
Performance
testing is popularly defined as testing that is performed
to determine how fast some aspect of a system performs under
a particular workload. In other words, testing of productivity,
conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component
with specified performance requirements. Traditionally, Performance
Testing was primarily a reactive domain, used to quickly determine
the cause after an application slowdown has occurred and reported.
However, currently Performance testing has progressed from
being a reactive and poorly executed IT service, to a critical
function, which organizations are readily executing to ensure
the smooth functioning of their applications, as well as the
robustness of their web-sites. Organizations are increasingly
approaching independent testing entities to address their
growing needs and challenges. Whilst focusing on these changing
trends, this presentation highlights various performance issues
and costs, industry views on software performance views, current
technologies and the future options for tool development,
process compliance, AND the ever-changing requirements of
the performance testing labs.
