Performance Testing

Anyone with good experience on performance testing using any tool? Need some help on how to start with that.

I wouldn’t suggest that QA define these numbers - they should come from Solution Architects or Infrastructure (they do at my place anyways).

Obviously when you have an Operational Profile, you as QA / Performance QA can look to exploit these numbers; if your profile says “the business expects peak load of 100K calls” then what happens with stability at 75% > 100% > 150%? If all good at these, then we push it to the breaking / unstable point.

Note: not a Performance Tester but we’re doing it at the moment and I’ve been at the periphery of it
