Quotes:

  • Ian Molyneaux, Micro Focus: ?My major motivation for putting pen to paper was the abject lack of reference material for the budding or seasoned performance tester. There were a lot of publications on software testing as a discipline but nothing focused purely on application performance. With this book, I?ve aimed to erase the popular misconception that performance testing is just another form of functional testing, as it really is a separate discipline with its own unique challenges.?
  • B. Franklin, Amazon reviewer: ?I am building a new performance testing practice at my company. This book is the most comprehensive writing I have found on the topic of application performance testing. The book flows well and is replete with valuable metrics and graphs that have been of great benefit to the task at hand. Additionally, the book will serve as a beneficial source of reference for future performance testing engagements.?
