Foundations of Software and System Performance Engineering: Process, Performance Modeling, Requirements, Testing, Scalability, and Practice

Acknowledgments

This book is based in part on a training course entitled Foundations of Performance Engineering. I developed this course to train performance engineering and performance testing teams at various Siemens operating companies. The course may be taught on its own or, as my colleague Alberto Avritzer and I have done, as part of a consulting engagement. When teaching the course as part of a consulting engagement, one may have the opportunity to integrate the client’s performance issues and even test data into the class material. This helps the clients resolve the particular issues they face and is effective at showing how the material on performance engineering presented here can be integrated into their software development processes. ...
