The Test Tribe 26th Bangalore Meetup
Performance testing has devolved into an activity that is primarily seen as a coding/scripting exercise. Teams and management believe that performance testing only requires coding a few scripts that ramp up a certain number of virtual users and see what happens. Furthermore, this is a task done in isolation with little to no input from business and other key stakeholders that help build the product. The results are then treated as a tick box in the release process and forgotten about unless something untoward happens during production.
We believe that performance testing is an art that requires a strategy of its own – one that needs to revisit the reason why performance testing is needed in the first place. Every product or application requires a different strategy of its own – one that involves key stakeholders that help define the application.
Our session walks through the various stages of creating a performance strategy. While we cover the basics of what a performance strategy includes, we will provide a hands-on experience that allows attendees to live through the creation of such a strategy. This includes exercises that will help visualize the business needs, engage with the required stakeholders to define goals and objectives, and perform exercises that help create a performance strategy.
With emergence of generative AI, you can expedite some of the process of the strategy. We will show how you can do so with couple of examples.
- Understand holistic picture of performance test
- Importance of performance test strategy
- Know your stakeholders
- Expedite the process with generative AI
