Does your application have what it takes to handle the number of customers you expect—or hope for? Does it provide a quick, responsive experience for your users all the time? Amber Race explores the performance testing tools and techniques you need to help ensure that your application is ready for the load from real users. If you are just getting started as a performance tester and wondering how to begin, Amber takes you through the basics and reviews the different facets of load and performance testing. Learn how to analyze your application for potential issues, create tests using a variety of open source tools, and report your results in a way that your team will understand. In this hands-on session, Amber helps you develop the confidence to take on the critical task of load testing your application—and to get it ready for the big time.
