This document discusses performance testing and provides an overview of core activities, metrics, tools, and useful links. It outlines client-server architectures, protocols, and languages relevant to performance testing. The core activities are identified as planning tests, executing tests at increasing loads, analyzing results, and retesting. Metrics mentioned include response time, concurrent users, throughput, and error rates. JMeter is discussed as a popular tool with samplers, logic controllers, listeners and other elements. Useful links to documentation on performance testing, JMeter, and tutorials are also provided.
