After long stint at the client location i came back to india last week. Since i had been away for long period i wanted to visit all my near and dear. I drove to my parents place (vizag in india).i wanted my entire family to go on a small vacation my father as usual wanted to travel by train rather than air so we both visted the nearest railway reservation counters in the city.

Weakest link (Reverse salients)
Submitted by srajeshvirtusa on Wed, 03/01/2007 - 07:51. performance testing | taxonomyOn my way back home after a recent client visit i happen to pick a strategy + business latest edition magazine by Booz | Allen | Hamilton, one of the article titled "The weakest link" by Nicholas G. Carr summed it up as below
"A products vulnerabilities can point the way to lucrative new business opportunities". Interesting and valid view point, this is how new products version/ideas are concieved for e.g. win3.1->win95->win98->winxp->vista.Sizing Disks:recommend appropriate hardware
Submitted by srajeshvirtusa on Wed, 27/12/2006 - 17:45. performance testing | taxonomyA typical Load test (utilizing a typical workload) on your test environment (representing a production model) results in raw performance data, this data could be utilized to uncover sizing information.
Universal scalability law
Submitted by srajeshvirtusa on Fri, 15/12/2006 - 12:12. performance testing | taxonomy[textile]After reading the book practical performance analyst and articles on universal law of scalability i was fascinated by the theory. I quickly wanted to apply these laws on my old performance raw data, to predict the performance of the application using the models. The first experience was breath taking to see the accuracy with which the model predicted.
Disabling CPU's (RH Linux,Solaris,Windows)

Proactive performance management:Some ideas
Submitted by srajeshvirtusa on Fri, 30/06/2006 - 14:26. performance testing | taxonomy2.5 years ago when i worked as a lead in a performance testing project we learnt few tricks which helped us to do proactive performance management early in the life cycle.
Setting up WAN environment: Open Source
Submitted by srajeshvirtusa on Mon, 26/06/2006 - 11:46. performance testing | taxonomyIntroduction
In the context of designing application performance from ground up every aspect of end user usage needs to be considered before the application is rolled out to production. One topic of interest is the inter connectivity of the computing systems and end user connectivity to the computing systems in the production.
Transition of Bugs
Submitted by Rajachockalingam on Wed, 11/01/2006 - 22:38. agile | extreme programming (XP) | taxonomyI do testing in application which is developed under eXtreme Programming model. Due to the short span of the development process, we always work with bitter pressure. Whenever I encounter a bug, I immediately logged the issue in the tracking tool and if necessary I would made a face to face discussion with the developers.
I was recently testing an application which had an excellent search function. Most of the pages had a data grid with 4 to 6 columns. The point here I wish to mention is, the bugs identified is taking different weightage at different levels of development process. Within a period of week, the high priority bug becomes obsolete.
