Talk Description
You’ve got five days left in the sprint, and at the last stand-up, the PO mentions that the business is nervous about the upcoming release. Will it handle the load of the next promotion? Can the system scale? 

Now you’ve got to get some load testing done quickly to provide results to help settle the anxiety and mitigate the risks of a crash or outage. You download five different tools from various vendors; you watch ten videos online on monitoring and diagnostics, you start listening to the PerfBytes podcast, and those guys are just crazy! 

What you need is a simple set of first steps to get some load tests going. This Masterclass will describe exactly those first steps, the pitfalls you’ll likely face and how to accurately present results from your first load testing effort. 

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • Choose an apt performance testing tool
  • Follow a performance testing process
  • Recognise the common pitfalls of performance testing and how to avoid them
  • Interpret and present your results accurately
