This makes the process more sustainable and consistent. By automating testing with continuous integration servers like Jenkins, performance engineers can write code and use them as fully repeatable scripts. Performance testing too needs to go from its predominantly manual roots (rooms full of QA personnel administering tests) towards massive automation. Under such circumstances, just simulating load and telling engineers and architects that something is breaking under load is no longer the “value-add” of a performance engineering team. For this, organizations are increasingly adopting CI/CD methods. Modern applications are built as microservices and run on containerized and dynamically orchestrated platforms – aka the “cloud-native” approach. Today, organizations want to build and run scalable applications in dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. The software industry has gone through tremendous changes meanwhile. Neotys was born and the NeoLoad product released. As performance would become the responsibility of their wider team, the delivery of a continuous performance testing platform was the founding idea of their work. The three Neotys technologists rallied around the belief that the performance engineer could become the critical application performance partner providing the best testing coverage, while respecting the cadence of the Agile process. At this time the discipline was long and complicated, reserved for specialists. In France back in 2005, Thibaud Bussière, Benoit Derouet, and Christophe Marton along with a group of other software developers and IT project managers lacked the right tool to deliver performance testing at the speed of Agile. Performance and load testing identify where and when your application breaks, and gives you insights for capacity planning so you can fix the issue before shipping to production. ![]() That is around $300,000 per hour on average. According to Gartner, the average cost of network downtime is around $5,600 per minute. If your application fails in production, it can become costly. With a higher adoption of digital applications comes higher expectations of performance. On the next day the Canadian brand’s website crashed as people rushed to get their hands on it. When Prince Harry announced his engagement to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, she wore one of Line the Label’s coats. Maybe the heavy load will be the result of a royal engagement, as Canadian fashion company Line the Label experienced late 2017. You can never be sure what will cause the next unexpected traffic spike on your network, causing your app to crash. Let me dare to assume that your organization relies on at least one important business application. This month’s featured partner is Neotys – the French company behind NeoLoad, the automated performance testing platform for enterprises. Welcome to the Dynatrace Partner Spotlight! This will be a recurring series that highlights our technology partners and the integration work they have done with Dynatrace.
