A World-Class Infrastructure for Performance Testing

The IBM Global Testing Organization's performance test infrastructure is solely responsible for certifying the performance of all IBM enterprise Lotus Notes and Web applications before their deployment to end users. Naomi Mitsumori describes this infrastructure and provides insights into designing the appropriate test environment, how performance and monitoring tools should be selected, and the management style necessary for success. She explains the processes IBM uses for performance testing, including planning, daily workflow activities, entrance and exit criteria, and modeling of workload profiles.
