A performance COE starts with engineers who are passionate about performance and have a solid reputation for using best of breed processes. A solid methodology is customized within the organization depending on their needs. There is an incubation period where this new department (or set of resources) must prove out their value. The team should focus on the projects that are in need of saving, or "key wins".Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:00:00 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5410/Centralized--Performance-Testing/Performance-Testinghttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5410/Centralized--Performance-Testing/Performance-Testingsmoore@northwaysolutions.comPerformanceTestingMost companies are immature with regards to performance testing applications. Why? Because it normally requires someone with a niche skill set to create tests which produce accurate results. Such a person would have some level of expertise in virtually all areas of IT, including development, QA testing, infrastructure, database administration, and networking.Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:00:00 -0700http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5360/Using-Web-Analytics-for-Modeling-Application-Usage-in-Performance-Tests/Testing-Performancehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5360/Using-Web-Analytics-for-Modeling-Application-Usage-in-Performance-Tests/Testing-Performancesuraj.sundarrajan@gmail.comTestingPerformanceIn my last article, I wrote about the paradigm shift in web application architecture and why performance testers have to re-think their strategy around testing rich internet applications (RIA) for performance. Web application development processes and user expectations continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Sadly, the techniques and approaches employed to test those applications have not kept up with the same growth rate. But the good news is that newer tools are coming up and methodologies are being defined to close in on that gap. Hence, it is essential that performance testers make use of them at every phase of the performance testing lifecycle.

They can multi-task browsing processes, allocate and manage memory, collect garbage and much more. They are capable of running complex web applications on their own with minimal server interaction. There is now a paradigm shift in the web application architecture as a majority of application processing is shifting from the server to the web browser. The web browser, once called a “Thin” client has become a big fat cat lately.Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5287/TELERIK-ANNOUNCES-LATEST-TEST-STUDIO-RELEASE/Performancehttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5287/TELERIK-ANNOUNCES-LATEST-TEST-STUDIO-RELEASE/Performancejrovansek@redwoodco.comPerformanceNEWLY ADDED PERFORMANCE TESTING CAPABILITIES, HTML5 SUPPORT SOLIDIFY TELERIK’S SOFTWARE TESTING SOLUTIONThu, 29 Sep 2011 17:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5258/The-Secret-Skill-%e2%80%93-How-to-Sell-Testing/Testing-Performance-Management-Services-Development-Software-Project-Management-Technology-User-Traininghttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5258/The-Secret-Skill-%e2%80%93-How-to-Sell-Testing/Testing-Performance-Management-Services-Development-Software-Project-Management-Technology-User-Trainingcalkelpdiver@comcast.netTestingPerformanceManagementServicesDevelopmentSoftwareProject ManagementTechnologyUserTrainingWe’ve all had that after meeting discussion with ourselves of, “I thought I explained that point clearly to them.
