        Leveraging Azure for performance Testing
        Download Recorded Session
                     

        Have you heard this before?

        You should have planned better; it’s too late to ask for additional hardware. Can you not use low spec servers for performance testing?


        I know you are in the middle of your testing phase, but there is an audit and I really need to take down the servers for patching.

        Let’s just test a 10,000 user load and forecast system performance for 100,000 users. There is no way we can get 10 more machines to simulate this kind of load

        Our user base is spread across the globe; I need to ensure consistent experience for all users. How can I simulate network latency during performance testing?

        The biggest adoption barrier in performance testing is not the tooling but the high infrastructure and administration cost that comes with this phase of testing. In this session I intend to show you how you can use the power of Windows Azure to effectively abstract the administration cost of infrastructure management and lower the total cost of Load & Performance Testing.
