 ARTICLE: The Science and Art of Web Site Load Testing
Author(s): Alberto Savoia
Summary: Web site load testing is very different from traditional load testing and requires new tools and new approaches. Most Web site load tests are wildly inaccurate and unrealistic and consequently useless or dangerously misleading. Useful load testing requires loading a Web site with different scenarios, at different load points, and monitoring all the key components. Approach Web site load testing as 80% science and 20% art.

 CONFERENCE MATERIALS: The Future of Test Automation and Its Impact on You
Author(s): Alberto Savoia, TestAgility Inc.
Summary: Do you think software testing professionals fully leverage the amazing computing power that's available to them? Are you up to speed on the latest research efforts in software testing? Do you know how advances in test automation will affect your testing career in the years to come? Despite huge increases in computing power and exciting new research, test execution is still the only area where software test automation is used with any consistency. With some rare exceptions, most software tests are still designed, developed, and analyzed manually. Even the very popular capture/playback tools are mostly used to automate the execution of "manually" recorded scripts, using "manually" provided test data. We've only scratched the surface of what can, and should, be automated in testing. This presentation shows you how recent advances in software, hardware, and networking will affect test automation over the next several years.
