Whether you’re a beginner simply looking to get started or a seasoned vet brushing up on your subject knowledge, this post will serve as a definitive guide on how to perform effective load testing on a web or mobile application.
Load Testing: A performance-related testing process that places simulated demand on software, web or mobile applications in order to measure responses and systems’ behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions.

Incidents Happen with Microservices | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps #Microservices
No matter how resiliently you build your application, incidents will happen. And as your application grows, the complexity of troubleshooting and resolving an incident also grows. With prior virtualization technologies, this might involve a virtualization admin, a network admin, a storage admin, and an applications developer to sort through the issue, put a resolution in place, and determine a root cause. With microservices architectures and Docker containers, this complexity is taken to the next level.
Is the Cloud Ready for Legal? | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Cloud applications are well established for many activities such as CRM, HR, and billing. With the cloud paradigm proven for so many enterprise tasks, the question of cloud vs. on-premises seems like yesterday’s – or even last year’s – debate. But is the cloud ready to handle the unique requirements of legal work? The answer is yes, with a caveat. The cloud is ready for legal, but a legal firm must ensure its cloud vendor, cloud applications and internal processes for dealing with the vendor and applications are all in line with legal industry best practices.
IoT and Cognitive Analytics | @ThingsExpo #IoT #ML #CognitiveComputing
Big Data analytics and the Internet of Things are still relative newcomers. Given how quickly technology moves, though, it’s not surprising that their next incarnations are already being talked about: cognitive analytics and a much-grown Internet of Things (IoT).
We all know about the Internet of Things: it’s data from a host of Web-connected devices that can be analyzed and studied, just like traditional data analytics. But what is cognitive analytics? Think back to old sci-fi shows. Remember the insanely smart, almost-human robot sidekick? Cognitive analytics isn’t there yet, but it does emulate that heady mixture of massive processing power and advanced logical capabilities. In some cases, cognitive analytics could be used to interact with humans; in others, it could handle tasks with very little human input.
Apple vs FBI – The Basics, Explained By @BobGourley | @CloudExpo #Cloud
This post provides an update on the ongoing battle between Apple and the U.S. government regarding Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone, recovered by police after the horrific massacre in San Bernadino on December 2, 2015.
It is just days before the March 22, 2016 hearing in this long-running, highly publicized dispute between the FBI and Apple, with the FBI’s demands of Apple being variously termed “jailbreak”, put a backdoor into, brute force access, compromise security of, or any number of other descriptors, in the case officially known as In the Matter of the Search of an Apple iPhone Seized During the Execution of a Search Warrant on a Black Lexus IS300, California License Plate 35KGD203. It is a good time, amongst all the massive press coverage and legal wrangling, to get back to some of the basics of the legal proceedings.
ITIL and DevOps | #@DevOpsSummit #DevOps #ITIL #APM #Microservices
ITIL, formerly an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business.
ITIL has been around for a long time, and has helped large teams (particularly those that are heavily regulated) manage the way services are delivered in a predictable and consistent way, as a way to mitigate risk. DevOps, as we know, has a very similar goal.
What is the relationship between DevOps and ITIL? What can one learn from the other? is it ITIL vs. DevOps, or ITIL and DevOps? Can they co-exist?
Application Performance Analytics | @DevOpsSummit @Dynatrace #DevOps #APM
Why a discussion around Application Performance Analytics? There’s a lot of buzz in this industry around the topic of performance analytics – an informal subset of IT operations analytics (ITOA) – as a solution to the growing mountains of monitoring data and the increasing complexity of application and network architectures.
At the same time, there exist many purpose-built performance analysis solutions. Many are domain-centric – server monitoring and network monitoring, for example – while some exhibit a key ITOA characteristic by incorporating and correlating data from multiple sources. Most perform some level of analysis to expose predefined insights.
[session] Scaling Massive Enterprise Content Stores in the Cloud By @JohnNewton | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Using new techniques of information modeling, indexing, and processing, new cloud-based systems can support cloud-based workloads previously not possible for high-throughput insurance, banking, and case-based applications.
In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, John Newton, CTO, Founder and Chairman of Alfresco, will describe how to scale cloud-based content management repositories to store, manage, and retrieve billions of documents and related information with fast and linear scalability.
He will address the challenges of scaling document repositories to this level; architectural approaches for coordinating data; search and storage technologies, Solr, and Amazon storage and database technologies; the breadth of use cases that modern content systems need to support; how to support user applications that require subsecond response times.
Four Simple Benefits of Virtualizing Your APIs By @SmartBearAmber | @CloudExpo #API #Cloud
With new virtualization tools popping up seemingly everywhere, you might wonder why so many testers, developers, QA Engineers, and Operations professionals are virtualizing their web services.
Why should you virtualize your APIs?
SmartBear Software recently conducted a survey of more than 2,300 software professionals, working in a variety of different roles in more than 50 industries, and found that ease of use, responsiveness/performance, and service reliability/uptime are the three most important characteristics organizations want in an API.
Why Your Code Isn’t as Secure as You Think (And What You Can Do About It) | @CloudExpo #Cloud
How well do you know your code?
It sounds like a strange question, but please indulge me.
Maybe you’re a manager or business analyst. If this is the case, you ‘know’ the code through a translation layer in which the developers in your organization explain what it does. Sometimes you can see what it does by interacting with it as a user or by reading incident reports.
But to really know and understand what it would do – to have a grasp on how it will behave in an arbitrary situation – you need one or more developers to give you an explanation.
