Artificial Intelligence is bringing ground-breaking improvements across industries. One of the most recent developments is to make AI accessible to everyone. OpenAI implemented a so-called ChatGPT, a large language model chatbot that can also answer complex questions. I was curious and asked this ChatGPT six performance engineering related questions. Its answers were impressive, but there are also several tradeoffs everyone should consider. Preparation Register yourself at...

Nobody enjoys slow loading or erroneous applications, and bad user experience already significantly impacts commercial revenue. I’m still wondering why the average response time of mobile sites is 19 seconds. Personally speaking, I won’t wait more than 5 seconds for a page to load. Whether you follow a waterfall or agile-based development approach, there are three critical touchpoints you need to consider if you want to reach a satisfying user experience. I call these touchpo

We at Performetriks believe that appropriate security safeguard is a must-have for flawless software. Thus, from the beginning, we incorporate the most robust security controls and methodologies into all stages of our product, Gobenchmark . By 2023, 65% of the world’s population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations, up from 10% in 2020, according to Gartner, Inc. Regarding a developing technology landscape, complex international data transfer,

Interestingly, most businesses realize the enormous benefits of performance testing only when a critical reliability issue hits their production environment. Now, it's no longer a question of what type of application you're developing or what budget you have. Plenty of tools are available—and thanks to the open-source initiative—we can find some effective performance-testing products for free! Validation of performance requirements must become a fundamental task for every com

The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the earth we live on, everything belongs to all of us. Sharing is in our DNA and has always been crucial for our survival. I believe complex problems, such as building fast and responsive business applications, could be simplified by following the sharing philosophy. Some of us build fast and responsive applications, while others gradually fail. Why can we not help each other to make everyone's user experience so much better? The se

We at Performetriks believe that for Performance Engineering to work, it must put you on a journey where you learn concepts as you are doing things. The research agency Gartner put it very well: "There is an urgent need to fulfill heightened user expectations about the performance and availability of business-critical applications. To succeed, software engineering leaders need to develop their teams' competency in performance engineering to mitigate application performance ri

Keeping awareness for load and performance testing on a consistently high level can be difficult. Leadership is willing to invest several months after severe production issues occurred but their motivation declines the more time goes by. You might see cut's in your performance engineering budget if the speed and reliability of your apps are too long too good. Well, you could introduce performance problems and deploy them on production to get the attention back, but this is mo
