  • Test as early as possible in development.
  • Conduct multiple performance tests to ensure consistent findings and determine metrics averages.
  • Test the individual software units separately as well as together
  • Baseline measurements provide a starting point for determining success or failure
  • Performance tests are best conducted in test environments that are as close to the production systems as possible
  • Isolate the performance test environment from the environment used for quality assurance testing
  • Keep the test environment as consistent as possible
  • Calculating averages will deliver actionable metrics. There is value in tracking outliers also. Those extreme measurements could reveal possible failures.
