Some time ago Federico Toledo published Performance Testing with Open Source Tools- Busting The Myths. That’s when we decided to go for a name that would first be available but also avoiding a “load-something” name (I know 10 of these, not even counting LoadRunner/NeoLoad) while integrating the notion of performance.

A lot of companies—even if they are aware that performance is key to their business—are often unsure of how, when, or where performance testing sits within their development lifecycle. To make things worse, they’re also usually unsure whose responsibility performance measuring and monitoring is.
