Get performance requirements right— think like a user by Scott Barber


Here is the link to the original article > Link


Very good article on how to think about requirements. Page 4 explains the very important difference between users per hour and concurrent users. Other main points:

  • To determine the most critical transactions, you need to think like a user and identify the ones that will have the biggest impact on the user experience.

  • Once you've identified the most critical transactions, you can design test data that simulates real-world usage.

  • Performance testing should be an iterative process, where you test different configurations and identify bottlenecks.

  • Performance testing should be conducted early in the software development lifecycle, so that any problems can be identified and addressed early.

  • Performance testing should be integrated with other testing activities, such as unit testing and functional testing.
