Talk: Performance testing

Track: Sponsored Solution Track I

Location: Abbey, 4th flr.

Duration: 10:35am - 11:25am

The performance of your application affects your business more than you might think. Top engineering organisations think of performance not as a nice-to-have, but as a crucial feature of their product. Those organisations understand that performance has a direct impact on user experience and, ultimately, their bottom line. Unfortunately, most engineering teams do not regularly test the performance and scalability of their infrastructure. Take back an understanding of how to automate performance and load testing and evaluate the impact it has on performance and your business.
