Become a Performance Diagnostics Hero

Andreas Grabner maintains that most performance and scalability problems don’t need a large or long running performance test or the expertise of a performance engineering guru. Don’t let anybody tell you that performance is too hard to practice because it actually is not. You can take the initiative and find these often serious defects. Andreas analyzed and spotted the performance and scalability issues in more than 200 applications last year. He shares his performance testing approaches and explores the top problem patterns that you can learn to spot in your apps. By looking at key metrics found in log files and performance monitoring data, you will learn to identify most problems with a single functional test and a simple five-user load test. The problem patterns Andreas explains are applicable to any type of technology and platform. Try out your new skills in your current testing project and take the first step toward becoming a performance diagnostic hero.
