With every passing day, organizations are becoming more and more mindful about the performance of their Software Products. However, most of them still on look-out for the basics of Performance Engineering.
According to a recent study by Gartner, fixing performance defects near the end of the development cycle costs 50 to 100 times more than the cost required for fixing it during the early phase of development. Hence, if a product suffers from serious performance issues it can be completely scrapped.
Performance Engineering ensures that your application is performing as per expectations and the software is tested and tuned to meet specified or even the unstated performance requirements.
We present you with a webcast on Performance Engineering Basics that would walk you through the elements and process of performance engineering, and also offers a methodical process for the same.
It also offers details on a load testing tool, and describes how best to utilize it.

Drive Faster Quality Insights through Customized Test AutomationPerfecto by Perforce
When making the transformation to DevOps and agile, many organizations find it hard to meet tough product release schedules and to cope with large data sets. Triaging failures across multiple platforms has become tedious and time-consuming.
Reporting test-driven development (RTDD) is an innovative approach to agile testing that helps you write and implement tests with the end in mind (i.e., the test reports). RTDD puts structure, governance, and advanced capabilities into your test automation strategy.
RTDD enables the entire product team to collaborate and make data-driven decisions in real time, resulting in test scenarios and test suites that are structured and easy to manage.

Modernizing Testing as Apps Re-ArchitectDevOps.com
Applications are moving to cloud and containers to boost reliability and speed delivery to production. However, if we use the same old approaches to testing, we'll fail to achieve the benefits of cloud. But what do we really need to change? We know we need to automate tests, but how do we keep our automation assets from becoming obsolete? Automatically provisioning test environments seems close, but some parts of our applications are hard to move to cloud.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Our mission at Neotys is to help organizations accelerate Agile/DevOps with more performance testing, in less time – which means testing, and improving performance at every stage of the application development lifecycle, and doing this sooner and more frequently
We deliver this value with our load testing platform NeoLoad available for testers, developers and every person involved in performance engineering through a all channel required to fit with their development processes: web/SaaS/On premise platform, cloud and/or on premise load generation, integration with other systems with the NeoLoad API
Headquartered in France, we have offices around the globe – US east coast, India, UK, and Germany. We back-up our performance testing platform with a range of professional services:
Performance testing as a service
Consulting
Neotys Academy – In-person/online training, certification
Migration from legacy tools
The NeoLoad platform for performance feedback consists of three distinct arenas.
Our core load testing components: controllers and load generators, provided as java installers and Docker containers
NeoLoad Web, a browser-based solution to visualize load and performance testing trends and results in real-time and stream to other dashboards
Our SaaS offerings: a hosted version of NeoLoad Web and a global network of always-ready load generators in data centers around the world
Both NeoLoad Web and our core components are programmatically addressable via RESTful APIs as well as through CLI execution
NeoLoad is not just a cheaper alternative to HP LoadRunner – NeoLoad is a justifiably better load and performance testing tool for web, mobile, and other digital applications. This is especially true for applications developed in fast-paced environments practicing DevOps or Agile methodologies.
Faster Test Design
Most testing tools (including LoadRunner) have a GUI with record and playback capabilities that require some coding to further customize scripts, but NeoLoad is different because there’s no coding required at all.
Correlation can be run automatically at the end of each recording, parameterization and randomization of variables takes just a few clicks, and logical actions are all drag and drop. Customers tell us they’re 5-10 times faster at designing tests than they were with LoadRunner.
Script Maintenance Automation
Any regular LoadRunner user knows just how long it takes to maintain scripts that break any time their applications change. What good is running automated performance tests if your scripts break and it takes forever to fix them?
That’s why NeoLoad has a user path update feature that allows you to update a designed script with a quick recording and automatically keep variable extractors, think times, SLAs, logical actions, javascript, validations and more from the original user path design. This makes the script maintenance process 20 times faster so that performance testing can actually keep pace in Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment environments.
Cheaper License, Much Higher ROI
Even if HP throws a fairly significant discount at you, the cost of a NeoLoad license is typically around one quarter the cost of a LoadRunner license. When you combine this with the huge efficiency gains you get with NeoLoad, the return on investment is massive.
For example: if you’re able to run 20 tests with NeoLoad in the same amount of time that it takes to run 4 tests with LoadRunner when the license cost is 4 times more with LoadRunner, your cost per test is 20 times more expensive with LoadRunner than it would be with NeoLoad.
Load testing is becoming more critical in todays SDLC, and also more complex because
Test cycles are becoming shorter with Agile and the requirement to release faster
Competion requires accelerated pace of digital innovation, for both customer facing and internal applications. Organizations adopt Agile and Devops as an answer to release faster and more regularly
• QA needs to be able to ensure quality at the pace of development
• This trend means you need to TEST FASTER
2) Testing is more complex as applications become more complex.
3) Speed and reliability of the application is critical to the user – so you need to test more as user expectations are raising.
• User expectations re: application performance are extremely high – seamless across devices
• Delivering applications which fail to meet user expectations can have crippling impact on the business:
- Loss of revenue
- User attrition/defection to competitor apps
- Brand degradation
Lost productivity for internal apps
When performance testing is done late in the SDLC (Pre-production) and defects are found, 100% of performance defects needed to be resolved in the production environment. In companies that implement a “Shift left, continuous testing approach, where performance considerations are taken into account at every stage of the life cycle, about 5% of performance defects need to be resolved in the production environment post-deployment.
Relative Cost of Fixing Defects
A study was performed by the IBM System Science Institute in order determine the relative cost in order to fix defects within the SDLC. The study concluded that defects found in testing were 15 times more costly than if they were found during the design phase and 2 times more than if found during implementation. (Source: IBM System Science Institute)
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/255965523_Integrating_Software_Assurance_into_the_Software_Development_Life_Cycle_SDLC
It is commonly believed that the earlier a defect is found the cheaper it is to fix it. For example, if a problem in the requirements is found only post-release, then it would cost 10–100 times more to fix than if it had already been found by the requirements review.” – (Source: Code Complete 2nd Edition, Steve McConnell)
Key benefits of using Continuous Performance Testing include:
Finding and Resolve Issues Earlier - Issues can be found at an earlier stage in the SDLC, then fixed quicker and at lower cost
Faster Release Cycles - The automation built into leading-edge performance testing platforms save a huge amount of time. With this approach, testing becomes just another part of the build - not a manual step performed as an afterthought
Deploy with Confidence & Lower Risk- Improved code quality since everything is KNOW to perform as designed - under real-world loads
Success is based on the ability to deliver both high quality testing and speed.
And this cannot be achieved with legacy methods and tools that make Performance testing the bottleneck in the SDLC!
Be confident your applications will perform in production
Leaders achieve Excellent performance testing while supporting the speed of Agile and this creates a competitive advantage for their organizations. No tradeoff
Organizations need to constantly monitor the performance of their applications, at every step of the Software Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC), from the development of the first component to the deployment of the end-to-end application in pre-production and production environments.
NeoLoad supports continuous testing requirements from API testing to enable teams test earlier and identify performance issues as early as possible
up to integration testing and to the large, complex end-to-end application performance and load testing to release with confidence in production.
NeoLoad is fully integrated into CI/CD pipelines so performance testing can be embedded into automated processes and executed continuously to let teams track non-regression performance trends and make sure their code is still performing, day after day.
NeoLoad provides the best capabilities for API testing in terms of
API technology support: SOAP and REST support
Ease of use to create tests for developers who are the most likely to do API testing
import swagger definitions to create scripts rapidly
define test scripts as code, in a Dev environment (or use the NeoLoad GUI productivity if you prefer)
Integration of API testing into a continuous process, fully automated
CI/CD integration
Automated pass/fail based on SLAs
Automatic provisioning of dynamic load testing infrastructure/load generators
Testing more than a standalone API
Test a system of APIs with more complex scenarios
Dev and QA use the same platform
Better Support for Web Technologies
Neotys has consistently beaten HP to market with support for new web protocols (sometimes by 2-3 years!), but it’s more than just saying your tool is able to test a particular technology – it’s how well your tool is able to test that technology.
Many current NeoLoad customers were once LoadRunner customers who made the switch because NeoLoad was able to more accurately capture and replay traffic from applications utilizing technologies like GWT, Oracle Forms, Flex, adaptive bitrate streaming and more.
Out-of-the-box Support for Mobile Applications
Every NeoLoad edition comes out-of-the-box with proxy recording of native mobile applications, mobile device simulation and network virtualization – no expensive mobile package to buy. You can even run tests with virtual mobile users on your web applications with just a few clicks.
NeoLoad’s “sweet spot” is in enabling large enterprises to secure their move to DevOps while ensuring testing of their legacy systems
