| 11:30 - 12:15 | Cost-effective Performance Testing Tools Sameena Hassam, Consultant, Capacitas Deciding on a suitable tool to conduct performance testing requires a number of factors to be considered. The objective of this session is to provide key information to assist in this decision. Three tools from various points of the cost spectrum will be evaluated against the following criteria:
The following tools will be evaluated:
Finally, the potential of employing multiple tools to achieve greater performance testing capability at a more competitive cost will be discussed. |
