ebook Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications

Scott Barber has released a book named “Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications”, on the approach, planning and analysis for Load Testing. As they say, the book is “tool agnostic” or tool independent. performance testing ebook

Though I found that this book becomes a bit repetitive at some places, I would recommend it highly, if you are starting out in the field of load testing, irrespective of whether you are working on LoadRunner or not.

  2. I’m glad you got something out of the book.

    FYI: Some (maybe all, but I doubt it) of the redundancy is intentional. For example, we didn’t anticipate folks reading all of the chapters about where performance testing fits into various SDLC’s, rather, we figured each of those should stand alone — leaving a lot of overlap. There were other places where we wanted to make the chapters stand alone over reducing redundancy.

    Love it or hate it, it was a decision vs. an oversight.

    Enjoy the book!
