This practical book provides a step-by-step approach to testing mission-critical applications for scalability and performance before they're deployed – a vital topic to which other books devote one chapter, if that.
Businesses today live and die by network applications and web services. Because of the increasing complexity of these programs, and the pressure to deploy them quickly, many professionals don't take the time to ensure that they'll perform well and scale effectively. The Art of Application Performance Testing explains the complete life cycle of the testing process, and demonstrates best practices to help you plan, gain approval for, coordinate, and conduct performance tests on your applications. With this book, you'll learn to:
* Set realistic performance testing goals
* Implement an effective application performance testing strategy
* Interpret performance test results
* Cope with different application technologies and architectures
* Use automated performance testing tools
* Test traditional local applications, web-based applications, and web services (SOAs)
* Recognize and resolves issues that are often overlooked in performance tests
