Description & Coverage
Description:

The performance testing of Web applications is not understood properly and no skill sets are available to address the challenges faced by practitioners. In addition, there is currently a lack of available research on the performance aspects of the application.

Integrated Approach to Web Performance Testing: A Practitioner's Guide fills this void and provides an integrated approach and guidelines to performance testing of Web-based systems. Based upon a mix of theoretical and practical concepts, this book provides a detailed understanding of the various aspects of performance testing in relation to the different phases of the software development life cycle. Using a rich mixture of examples, checklists, and templates, this book illustrates the different facets of application performance. Integrated Approach to Web Performance Testing: A Practitioner's Guide applies a practical approach to making appropriate choices of tools, methodologies and project management for performance testing.

Reviews & Statements

"Integrated Approach to Web Performance Testing: A Practitioner's Guide by B.M. Subraya is reference book for all levels of users from professors to coders and designers of applications in the new ICT world. Even profound topics which are generally complex in structure to explain to a novice has been presented in a down to earth understandable manner and yet not losing the rigor of treatment. It is a must for all those persons and organizations developing applications for customers as also all libraries dealing with software engineering and IT." "Prof. Subraya has provided the community of academic and the software professionals engaged in learning and or creating applications that run on the web a classic on a complex topic of performance testing of web applications, in a lucid yet strong style. It provides a step by step approach to build performance into an application right through the software development life cycles and is a must on the desk of every one in the software development. It is an excellent book that can be used as a text book or a designer and architect consulting reference." "Designing and implementing web applications with guaranteed performance has posed to be a challenge ever since internet made its way into commercial computing. The number of variables and elements that come together are too many to enumerate and typical response from a consultant would be 'it depends.' Not a comfortable answer. In his book "Integrated Approach to Web Performance Testing: A Practitioner's Guide, Prof Subraya has done a very good job to identify stage-wise variables that primarily govern the performance and given very fine design approaches to be taken to guarantee performance as also to test the same. It is a very good piece of work by a Professor and deserves to be on the shelf of every researcher, designer and architect."
