Free Open Source Agile Web Application Performance Testing Workshop
Your organization may have adopted Agile Software Development
Methodology and forgot about load and performance testing! In my
experience this is pretty common. Between Scrum meetings, burn-down
sessions, sprints, test first, and user stories, many forms of testing
- including load and performance testing, stress testing, and
integration testing - can get lost. And, it is normally not only your
fault. Consider the following:- The legacy proprietary test tools - HP LoadRunner, HP QTP, IBM
Rational Tester, Microsoft VSTS - are hugely expensive. Organizations
can't afford to equip developers and testers with their own licensed
copies. These tools licenses are contrary to Agile testing, where
developers and testers work side-by-side building and testing
concurrently.
- Many testers still cannot write test code. Agile developers write
unit tests in high level languages (Java, C#, PHP, Ruby.) Testers need
a code-less way to repurpose these tests into functional tests, load
and performance tests, and production service monitors.
- Business managers need a code-less way to define the software
release requirements criteria. Agile developers see Test
Management tools (like HP Quality Center QC) as a needless extra burden
to their software
development effort. Agile developers are hugely attracted to Continuous
Integration (CI) tools like Hudson, Jenkins, Cruise Control, and
Bamboo. Business managers need anintegrated CI and test platform
to define requirements and see how close to 'shipping' is their
application.
