Understanding the Power of Coefficient of Variation in Software Performance Testing

DZone

Most performance tools already report a bunch of them (e.g., which we have to review for our report; why add a new metric to the list? Actually, the Coefficient of Variation (CoV) stands out as a valuable metric to prove that your application will perform reliably under various conditions. average, min, max, percentiles.),

Observability platform vs. observability tools

Dynatrace

With observability, teams can understand what part of a system is performing poorly and how to correct the problem. Observability is made up of three key pillars: metrics, logs, and traces. Metrics are measures of critical system values, such as CPU utilization or average write latency to persistent storage.
