Description:

One of the frequently asked questions from management is: "Make it go faster?". Most developers know a wealth of ways to do that, but how do we actually establish a baseline for performance and how do we stresstest before management starts screaming the beforementioned statement in panic. In this session we will take look at how we can make performance baselining and capacity testing using JMeter and furthermore we will look into how to establish where time is actually spent in a webapplications. Of course having a baseling and automated loadtesting is not always an option when the shit hits the fan, so to close the session we will look at signs I often see in the field of typical performance problems.
