3. Pitfalls of Traditional Approach
 Waterfall model
 Afterthought in SDLC
 Tests at Go live stage
 Insufficient time – testing, tuning, optimization and forecasting
 Adverse system performance
 High costs
 Re-engineering
 Extra efforts
 Business losses
Extensive time, resources, and efforts involved in resolving
performance issues

4. Continuous Performance Management
(CPM)
 Agile approach
 Continuous integration
 Leverage automation
 Performance centric development
 Integrates with SDLC
 Early detection
 Greater coordination
CPM = Performance Engineering + Continuous Integration
