One of the most challenging parts of performance testing is analyzing test results. With piles of test data, complex test environments, and endless parameters, it is difficult to identify performance issues and reach the root cause of problems.

Using real-world examples, Yam Shal-Bar, chief technology officer at RadView, presents proven practices and advanced tips and techniques that will help you adopt a methodical approach to results analysis, interpret graphs that combine multiple data angles, and spot hidden indicators and trends to drill down on issues.

Learn how to:

1. Set proper performance targets and baseline results
2. Uncover hidden problems and perform root-cause analysis
3. Distinguish between application architecture issues and environment or configuration issues
4. Cross-reference client side test results with server-side monitoring data

To ensure peak load performance during traffic spikes and unexpected surges, you must load test new and updated websites and mobile apps early and often—before they go live.

After all, your company’s reputation and revenue are on the line.

Cloud-based tools you can use to quickly provision and scale load tests of up to a hundred thousand geographically dispersed users are available right now.

Join John Jeremiah (LinkedIn profile) with the HP Software Applications Delivery Management team and Oded Keret (LinkedIn profile) a product owner for the HP TruClient and StormRunner R&D team, as they explore different approaches for cloud-based load testing, from GUI level tests to API tests, using technologies such as JavaScript, JMeter, and even HTTP (through HP VUGen).

Learn:

1. Four ways to script website and mobile app performance tests in the cloud
2. How cloud tools can simulate almost any number of users from geographic regions worldwide
3. Ways to easily and quickly provision performance test environments
4. How to get performance analytics in real time

Watch as they will provision and run a hundred-thousand-user load test in a live demo!.

Traditional quality assurance has become a bottleneck in the development process and the advancement of test automation.

Innovative development teams pressured by the need to develop and change applications faster than ever have started implementing programs for complete test lifecycle management. Test automation is a key to their success.

Lifecycle test automation increases coverage, reduces manual testing costs, and improves quality.

Learn how to reduce lifecycle time through centralizing build/test automation, consolidating redundant infrastructure, eliminating wasteful handoffs, and increasing the level of automated testing.

Regg Struyk, (LinkedIn profile) Product Manager  & Andy Holton (LinkedIn profile) System Engineer with Polarion Software will show you how to:

1. Integrate automated testing throughout the software lifecycle
2. Use test automation appropriately
3. Implement automated end-to-end QA testing
4. Employ lifecycle test automation to improve product quality

Explore how automation is changing the landscape of software testing!

When a software development professional first hears about Agile, they are often initially incredulous that this type of approach can work due to a misperception that Agile simply means “no planning.”

This belief could not be further from the truth.

Agile teams tend to plan more throughout the course of a project than a traditional approach, albeit in a different fashion than they may be accustomed to. Rather than planning once at the beginning of a project, Agile teams practice continuous planning throughout the project.

This web seminar will explore the five Levels of Agile planning, and how they help teams ensure that teams are able to benefit from what they learn over the course of their development and delivery efforts.
