It has been long that I talked anything related to performance. Performance testing is one of the testing areas about which I am very passionate and I have been a dedicated performance tester for a quite good period of time.
I am going to take up a presentation on Brushing Up Performance Testing Basics for members of the STIG (Software Testing Interest Group), Bangalore – a group dedicated to knowledge sharing efforts for software testing professionals at Bangalore. It’s nice to be a part of such a non-commercial group comprising of software testers, to help the software testing community.
Click the image above to download the presentation in PPT format. You can also download the zipped version. The presentation is scheuled on Saturday, 15 Dec – 4 to 7 PM IST. If you are interested in attending it, please drop an email to get Venue details.
The presentation while discussing the basics, also leaves pointers to some innovative ideas e.g. WUS and UCML, by Alberto Savoia and Scott Barber respectively.
This seems to be a good start as I plan to write on the topic in decent detail in the near future. Though this presentation does not contain any definitions or descriptions, it would give you a picture about the day-to-day life of a performance tester, things he needs to focus on and his approach towards software testing.
I usually tend to talk much more than the contents of a presentation :-). If you are interested in having this presentation conducted for a team in your organization, please contact me.
