The Art of Application Performance Testing

---

This book is written by an experienced application performance specialist for the benefit of those who would like to become specialists or have started working at application performance testing.
Businesses in today’s world live and die by the performance of mission-critical software applications. Sadly, many applications are deployed without being adequately tested for scalability and performance. Effective performance testing identifies performance bottlenecks in a timely fashion and tells you where they are located in the application landscape.
The Art of Application Performance Testing addresses an urgent need in the marketplace for reference material on this subject. However, this is not a book on how to tune technology X or optimize technology Y. I’ve intentionally stayed well away from specific technologies except where they actually affect how you go about performance testing. My intention is to provide a commonsense guide that focuses on planning, execution, and interpretation of results and is based on a decade of experience in performance testing projects.
In the same vein, I won’t touch on any particular industry performance testing methodology because—truth be told—they don’t exist. Application performance testing is a unique discipline and is crying out for its own set of industry standards. I’m hopeful that this book may in some small way act as a catalyst for the appearance of formal processes.
