I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. While agile development / DevOps become mainstream nowadays, their integration with performance testing is just making first steps.

To that end, it’s important that we prevent significant performance regressions from reaching the production app. Any performance regression that makes it into a product release will degrade user experience, so the challenge is to detect and fix such regressions before they ship. What do we mean by Performance?
