We start off with planning and defining the Test Key Performance Indicators.
We are also looking at "Little's Law" and how we can use it to judge performance improvements.
During Planning and Preparation we go look in detail at the application and infrastructure assessment, Performance Test Environment setup and data considerations.
The Performance Testing Cycle leads us along the path of Baselines, Performance Profiles and Performance Testing Sessions.
We finish the book with looking at a number of more specialized Performance Test Strategies and list a few Best Practices.
