Best Practices: Real-World Performance Testing and the “aha” Moment

Did you know that 85% of users complain about slow response time?

The success of your critical eBusiness initiatives depends on your ability to deliver quality web experiences. Unfortunately, 65% of applications are not properly load tested prior to launch, resulting in lost revenue, increased support costs and brand damage.

Join us as Imad Mouline discusses the connection between web performance testing and the bottom line, as well as pointers and best practices for ensuring the success of your critical eBusiness initiatives. In this podcast you will learn about a new approach to performance testing — easy to use, delivered on-demand, and able to identify and resolve problems across the entire web application delivery chain from an outside-in customer perspective.

Whether you have never load tested before, are familiar with traditional behind-the-firewall testing, or are researching cloud testing tools now, you will “get” 3 new concepts or “AHA!” moments :

  • ‘Aha’ #1: Poor performance hurts the bottom line
  • ‘Aha’ #2: End-users hold you responsible for their overall experience, so you need to test internal and external components outside direct corporate control (CDNs, ISPs, partner redirects, etc)
  • ‘Aha’ #3: Realistically testing your applications from where your customers are is the only way to find out where, when and why end user experience degrades.
