| Introduction: |
| |
| This tutorial covers the Elective area of the Test Management Body of Knowledge (TMBOK) required
for the Certified Test Manager (CTM) certification. This tutorial also covers the Elective area of the Certified
Software Test Professional requirements. |

| Concepts: |
| |
This is a hands-on two-day workshop that provides strategies and methods for understanding,
planning and implementing performance testing. Performance Testing requires 90% analysis effort and 10% tools.
This one-day tutorial will be a case study of Performance Testing for an eBusiness application. The case study
will involve analyzing the hardware platform, understanding the operational profiles and examining the actual test
results .
Audience/Prerequisites: QA testers, analysts and engineers who need to develop a working knowledge of performance
test planning and performance testing. No prior experience with performance analysis methods is required; a basic
understanding of the web and basic algebra are helpful. Bring a calculator to help you work through the results
in the case study. |
