Martin Lewis replied to Adrian Wilson's discussion "Developer in Test"... Is this role bad news for regular testers?
":D - sorry about that. - we have 'automation monkeys' and 'code monkeys' as well. :-)
I guess it depends on the way you develop software. I have worked with companies in the past where they do review the spec…"

"Hi Adrian,
In my experience, I would say that automation can be extremely useful for developing regression packs that can run as part of a continuous integration cycle. They are useful for providing a snapshot and a confidence level for how a…"

"I'm currently reading Beautiful testing and Agile Testing and find them both very enlightening and inspiring to read.
Another good book is Scrum and XP from the Trenches."

"Hi Ainars,
By data mining, I mean I would need to inspect the production database and extract information inside the database and try and build an understanding of what configuration and usage profile of a customer.

I suggest looking up Scott Barber's posting on using an UML type mapping. The article is at: http://www.perftestplus.com/articles/non-Empirical%20Load%20Modeling.pdf

"Martin,
I will try to share some ideas, although I’m not sure how relevant they are as you don’t provide enough details of your system under test. For example I’m totally confused as to how you could “data mine…"

"My approach to this problem would usually be to talk to various stakeholders and identify a set of business critical [load generating] processes. These can then be modelled and used to define a series of performance test cycles.

Approaches to developing performance test models
Hi,I'm currently developing a set of baseline tests which aims to measure performance changes different versions of software on our test systems. At the moment we have a skeleton set of tests which test a small subset of the system. These are tests are not an accurate representation of live environment. The challenge is to improve these tests and try to model a subset of the live system.I’m wondering on which approach I should use when creating a set of models?My thoughts so far:1. Look at a…See More
