Performance Testing was always a part of Software Testing whether explicitly stated or not. The world of software testing is becoming smarter and mature. With the changing landscape of Computing and a paradigm Industry wise shift towards SOA/web based applications has brought a forefront focus on Performance Testing and the expectations saught from this kind of testing are measurable numbers. I have tried to extract the entire essence in terms of minimal words which could serve the purpose to cut-short the learning time. Performance Testing is about to measure the performance of an application under test whether the application is an embedded, desktop or a distributed enterprise application. However, these are the enterprise based applications/architectures where lies the prime focus of performance testing. Expectations saught from AUT is to measure the performance numbers and ensuring that it conforms to the expectations.

For those of you who frequent this blog or use Anue products, you are very aware of the importance of testing against the real world network before deploying on it. The following is a great guest post discussing how and why to test new converged applications before rolling out to the production network.
The best way to actually complete the tests with the highest level of accuracy is to use a Network Emulator that can capture and replay actual conditions from your unique network environment.

Heading into the New Year, we have seen a slew of reviews for 2009 and previews of what various experts and pundits think will happen this year. On this very blog, we have even chimed in on several of the more interesting takes that we’ve seen out in the blogosphere and on the web itself. But what we haven’t done is give our take on where we think the big stories will come in 2010, so let’s attack that angle now.
In 2010, I predict we will see more of…

Continuing our end of year review of the various predictions from IT and networking thought leaders, today we turn our attention to IDC. For those of us who have been in high tech since the early 90s (or longer), IDC is a well-known entity. I remember working with them directly back in my days of fab planning and market research at Advanced Micro Devices, and they always offered a spin that made me take pause when interpreting trends and new developments.

Last week at the annual Gartner Data Center Conference in Las Vegas, key analysts overviewed the most important issues that data centers face in the next five years. As expected, rising energy costs and the movement toward “green” solutions was a primary topic, as was social networking technology. But there were several other hot topics which the responsible network operations professional should be pursuing.

Sometimes you just have to use the right word. You know, like when people say, “I could care less,” when they really mean, “I couldn’t care less.” ‘Cause if you could care less, that means you care some amount more than zero.
