Performance testing a non-trivial system easily becomes a challenges. Waiting for the results of a load test after development or even production monitoring data will not work. In this talk I will explain how complex software system can be performance tested across all lifecycle phases. Following a problem solution approach major topics like how to identify performance regressions in development, how to test a complex multi-component system, how to run large scale tests with limited hardware or how to use the cloud for scalability testing.

Keywords: Testing, Continuous Integration, Performance, Diagnosing

Target Audience: This talk targets developers, architects and tester who want to learn more on how to effectively integrate performance testing and analysis into their processes.
