Performance Testing Is Easy, Right?

Grab a tool, record a transaction with the server, ramp up a thousand virtual users… What do you often get? A hot mess!

Performance testing is likely the kind of testing most likely to be done poorly.  It does not have to be that way.

Join RBCS  to learn what performance testing is not: not easy, not guaranteed, but not impossible to do well.

Much of a good performance testing program is not about using the tool at all;

Instead it includes all of the ISTQB buzzwords:

  • Static testing,
  • Early testing,
  • Planning and
  • Preparation.

Learn the basics of successful performance testing and improve your performance test project.
