Experts Helping Experts: Rapid Bottleneck Identification (R.B.I.) Methodology as used in Load Testing Managed Services

Abstract:

Managed Test Services are an often-overlooked way to augment your own internal testing efforts. In addition to eliminating acquisitions of licenses and lab equipment, the personnel who staff these load tests are the “cream of the crop” in terms of performance testing skill and methodology – allowing you to focus on application tuning and environmental considerations. Empirix’s Rapid Bottleneck Identification (R.B.I.) methodology is the standard practice for Empirix’s e-LoadExpert managed load test service. In this session, we’ll walk you through the methodology and illustrate the proper qay to utilize managed services in your QA efforts through case studies and “war stories.”

Specific points to be discussed include:

  • Load Testing best practice: Rapid Bottleneck Identification (R.B.I.) methodology
  • Understand how and when internal QA efforts should be augmented by managed services
  • War stories to remind you that you’re not alone!
