architecture | design & development | development methodology | non-functional testing | performance testing | performance testing patterns
My performance requirements paper was published in the January issue of Software Test & Performance (pp.18-24).
It was simple: I just sent a draft – and now I am reading it printed. With a new name - or even two: it is referred as You Can Gauge Performance Without Requirements in one place and Gauging Performance in The Absence of Measures in another. Not to mention other minor improvement.
Not sure that these new names match the content – my main point was that we need performance requirements, and not only for performance testing. Perhaps I can refer to it as Gauging Performance – as it named on the tops of the pages – it makes more sense for me. Well, the content is mostly there – so if somebody read it, I still hope my points won't be missed. Curious that in the pdf most references are lost, but they exist in the printed edition.
