Announcing WOPR13
Submitted by rstens on Wed, 15/07/2009 - 00:57. performance testingTheme: Performance Rules of Thumb
WOPR13 Theme Description
Many testers develop job aids such as models, frameworks and tools. These aids often incorporate rules of thumb, or heuristics, which help monitor progress and quickly identify and resolve problems. Rules of thumb are similar to what have been called "Testing Smells"; practitioners use them to plan and conduct performance tests, analyze test results, and examine live systems.

WOPR12 Call For Proposals(CFP)
Submitted by rstens on Fri, 12/12/2008 - 02:00. performance testingPlease see the WOPR Site for all details.
The Theme is: Resource Monitoring During Performance Testing
People involved in developing, testing, and delivering hardware, software, or internet based applications must be able to ensure those solutions meet customer and user expectation. But what are those expectations - specifically around resolving performance bottlenecks - and how do you ensure they are being met?

WOPR11 Call For Proposals(CFP)
Submitted by rstens on Mon, 11/08/2008 - 01:27. performance testingTheme: Reliability… what can we do?
People involved in developing, testing, and delivering hardware, software, or internet based applications must be able to ensure those solutions meet customer and user expectations… The question that follows – Exactly what are those expectations and how do you ensure they are being met?
WOPR11 will explore the topic of reliability with seasoned professionals, including architects, designers and performance and reliability testers.
WOPR10: Call for proposals
Submitted by rstens on Sat, 12/01/2008 - 01:13. performance testingWOPR10: Call For Proposals(CFP)
Theme: How can we teach performance testing?
Every aspect of performance testing from problem awareness to systematic modeling, performance testing experiments, result analysis to problem reporting and getting the darn system actually working involves a rich an complex set of interrelated skills coupled with a blend of detailed technical knowledge and rich context sensitivity. What are these skills? How can we teach them?
WOPR9 Application Deadline
Submitted by rstens on Thu, 28/06/2007 - 00:08.The July 1, 2007 deadline is nearing for the 9th edition of the Workshop on Performance and Reliability. We still have a few spots left for what is intended to be our most technical WOPR sofar.

Announcement: Ross Collard is conducting his Performance Testing workshop
Submitted by rstens on Mon, 15/05/2006 - 17:46.Ross Collard is conducting his Performance Testing workshop in Redmond, WA on Monday through Wednesday, June 19-21. It will be followed by a one-day workshop on Robustness Testing on Thursday, June 22. Both workshops will have a mix of Google, Microsoft and other participants.
These workshops have been widely acclaimed. This is a typical example of participant’s feedback (from a Microsoft test engineer who attended a workshop hosted by Google in April, 2006):
