PurePerformance 003 Performance Testing in Continuous Delivery / DevOps

How can you performance test an application when you get a new build with every code check-in? Is performance testing as we know it still relevant in a DevOps world or do we just monitor performance in production and fix things as we see problems come up?
Continuous Delivery talks about breaking an application into smaller components that can be tested in isolation but also deployed independently. Performance Testing is more relevant than ever in a world where we deploy more frequently – however – the approach of executing these tests has to change. Instead of executing hourly long performance test on the whole application we also need to break down these tests into smaller units. These tests need to be executed automatically with every build – providing fast feedback on whether a code change is potentially jeopardizing performance and scalability
Listen to this podcast to get some new insights and ideas on how to integrate your performance tests into your Continuous Delivery Process. We discuss tips&tricks we have seen from engineering teams that made the transition to a more “agile/devopsy” way to execute tests
