I found an interesting article by Scott Moore titled What makes a good Performance Engineer? According to the article the bare minimum technical skills required learnloadrunnerform a good performance engineer are:

  • Network Basics: Knowledge of OSI, TCP/IP stack, DNS, DHCP, WINS, Routers.
  • Protocols: Knowledge of Winsock, COM, HTTP, and Citrix.
  • Programming/Scripting Languages: Knowledge of HTML, ASP, JSP, Java, C
