Benefits of quality gates Quality gates provide several advantages to organizations, including the following: Optimized software performance : Quality gates assess code at different SDLC stages and ensure that only high-quality code progresses. Vulnerability score: The highest vulnerability risk score for a process group.

Even when the staging environment closely mirrors the production environment, achieving a complete replication of all potential scenarios, such as simulating extremely high traffic volumes to assess software performance, remains challenging. This can lead to a lack of insight into how the code will behave when exposed to heavy traffic.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022

This demand creates an increasing need for DevOps teams to maintain the performance and reliability of critical business applications. A broken SLO with no owner can take longer to remediate and is more likely to recur compared to an SLO with an owner and a well-defined remediation process. But there are SLO pitfalls.

OCTOBER 15, 2021

OpenTelemetry (also referred to as OTel) is an open-source observability framework made up of a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs, that enables IT teams to instrument, generate, collect, and export telemetry data for analysis and understand software performance and behavior. In-process exporter. Monitoring begins here.

OCTOBER 28, 2021

As software performance degrades or fails, the chaos engineers’ findings enable developers to add resiliency into the code, so the application remains intact in an emergency. Chaos testing enriches the organization’s intelligence about how software performs under stress and how to make it more resilient.

The difference between user stories and constraints approaches is not in performance requirements per se, but how to address them during the development process. From the performance testing side the problem is that performance engineering teams don’t scale well, even assuming that they are competent and effective.
