Early Performance Testing/Engineering
Performance testing in the early phases of SDLC delivers business benefits to the end customers in the most efficient and cost-effective way. This will also help in considering performance testing as part of the continuous integration process and not a standalone exercise late in the game. Performance Testing is the most crucial phase of any project before it is set for production to go live, and most of the performance testers will have very tight project schedules and less duration for performance testing the applications. The phase that determines the user experience, which is of high significance to the end user, will have limited time and that is the time when project go-live dates are postponed due to performance bottlenecks. Of course, the application is functionally stable by the time performance testing is planned/scheduled. The application bottlenecks/issues can be detected {can we say it needs to start from planning for performance right from architecture and design defini...
