Track Talk T10

Evolving your Performance Testing Practices

Leandro Melendez

13:45-14:30 Thursday 10th October

In these modern days, organizations keep trying to embrace modern QA and performance testing and assurance practices. With not much luck, in my humble experience.

First, I will share some of the critical elements of modern performance assurance practices.

Then, I will guide you through some of the old ways that teams are trying to encrust into the modern, continuous, and agile ways.

Lastly, I will cover and share the impacts, recommendations, trips, and tricks with you to apply to your teams to guarantee that the performance is assured, not only tested.

Overall, this will be a fun presentation full of examples, pop culture references, and memorable experiences that will help you retain the information shared.
