Atomic Talk Title: Softs you need to run the Perfect Load Test

There seems to be a very wrong perception of conducting load testing. Many think it is understanding a performance testing tool and running a few tests. Seldom is serious thought put into creating tests which actually add value and create an impact to the actual testing. This requires a lot of strategy and planning that goes into creating the Perfect load and this talk will cover all the soft skills that a test engineer requires to get the job done.
 
Takeaways:
 
  1. Techniques and tips that helped my team and myself to work out performance tests so that we could spot the real underlying issues in the application at an early stage.
  2. Elements that need to be considered from the very instant of requirement gathering.
  3. Things that need to be considered when maintaining the scripts.
