Users are growing increasingly frustrated by slow web pages. A move to online services should not be a performance trade off. Many people simply don't tolerate waiting and will simply bounce to another web page. Even with internal applications poor response times can lead to employee frustration and low morale.
- Trend metrics and key indicators
- Unbiased impression of performance
- Competitive comparisons
- Controlled handling of high load
Through each generation of an application new features are added. Often these features impact the speed. Often the accumulation of performance issues is so gradual that you might not even notice. This is a classic performance trap. If you don't know how well you performed previously you'll never really know if things are getting better or worse.
In addition to performance numbers, stress testing is capable of identifying functional problems under high load. Too often applications are tested in minimal environments and deployed into the wild with little idea of how it will perform. Or sometimes users will be reporting slow pages which can not be reproduced by the testers.
