Build realistic automated web performance tests and run them in Jenkins
Architect and launch a test environment that auto-provisions in the cloud
Manage a load generation grid to drive load tests in a lights-out mode
Establish a performance baseline in your daily Jenkins reports
This document outlines a webinar presentation on performance testing. It discusses how performance testing needs to change to keep up with trends like increased application development, continuous delivery, and more demanding users. Traditional approaches using siloed teams and infrequent testing are outdated. The presentation provides tips on breaking the status quo by increasing test frequency, embracing mobile applications, and integrating performance testing into agile development teams throughout the software lifecycle. Distributed, collaborative performance testing driven by real user data is presented as the new modern approach.
The document discusses building a high-performance testing team. It recommends assembling a team that includes a performance architect, senior performance engineer, and performance engineer. The team should focus on skills like testing, architecture, and requirements rather than just tools. The document outlines a four-level approach to performance testing: 1) coding for performance, 2) attacking service levels, 3) end-to-end business process testing, and 4) full site testing with monitoring of key performance indicators.

Rewriting The Revenue Rules: From Mobile-First To Mobile-Only Mobile Shopping...SOASTA
This document discusses how slow loading times and delays can negatively impact businesses. It notes that a 1 second delay can lead to 11% fewer page views, 16% less customer satisfaction, and 7% loss in conversion. Additionally, 3 out of 4 mobile users consider mobile sites slower than desktop sites. The document then discusses how SOASTA helps companies analyze performance data to answer key questions and improve user experiences.
Forensic tools for in-depth performance investigations SOASTA
Boomerang is a JavaScript library that gathers performance metrics of page loads. When a customer saw periods where nothing progressed on their site, forensic tools were used to investigate. WebPageTest reproduced the issue, and tcpdump, Wireshark, and Chrome Tracing helped dive deeper. Tests showed the problem was not related to Boomerang. Other scenarios involved pre-rendering, ready state changes, and expired CSRF tokens. Various tools like Fiddler and browser dev tools helped reproduce, validate fixes, and determine root causes.
Metrics, metrics everywhere (but where the heck do you start?) SOASTA
This document discusses various metrics for measuring website performance and user experience. It outlines different types of metrics including:
- Network metrics like DNS resolution, TCP connection times, and time to first byte.
- Browser metrics like start render time, DOM loading/ready times, and page load times.
- Resource-level metrics obtained from the Resource Timing API like individual asset load times and response sizes.
- User-centric metrics like Speed Index, time to visible content, and metrics for single-page applications without traditional page loads.
It emphasizes the importance of measuring real user monitoring data alongside synthetic tests, and looking at higher percentiles rather than just averages due to variability in user environments and network conditions

Presentation on Retail Banking - An OverviewAjay S
PPT on Retail Banking.
Introduction to Retail Banking
Let's start with an introduction to retail banking. Retail
banking, also known as consumer banking, involves providing
financial services to individual consumers rather than businesses. It
plays a crucial role in the financial system by offering services such
as savings accounts, loans, and credit cards. These services help
individuals manage their finances effectively and securely.
History of Retail Banking
Retail banking has a fascinating history. It began in ancient
times with temples providing loans. During medieval times, banks
like the Medici Bank emerged in Europe, offering services to both
merchants and individuals. The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and
19th centuries saw the establishment of modern banks, introducing
products like savings accounts and personal loans. The 1960s
brought about a significant change with the introduction of ATMs,
which revolutionized access to banking services. In the 21st century,
the digital revolution further transformed the industry, making
financial services more accessible through internet and mobile
banking.
Key Services Offered
Retail banks offer a variety of services. First, we have
deposits, which include savings accounts, checking accounts, and
fixed deposits. These accounts provide a secure place to store money
and earn interest. Next, there are loans, including personal loans,
home loans, and auto loans, which help individuals make major
purchases or investments. Lastly, credit and debit cards facilitate
cashless transactions and provide short-term credit for purchases.
Types of Retail Banking Accounts
Retail banks offer different types of accounts to meet various
needs. A savings account allows customers to store their money
securely while earning interest. A checking account provides easy
access to funds for daily transactions. Fixed deposits offer higher
interest rates for money that is locked in for a specific period.
Recurring deposits allow customers to make regular monthly deposits
that also earn interest.
Retail Banking Channels
Retail banking services are accessed through various
channels. Traditional branch banking involves visiting a physical bank
branch. Online banking allows customers to manage their accounts
and transactions via the internet. Mobile banking uses smartphone
apps for banking services on the go. ATMs, or automated teller
machines, provide cash withdrawals and other services without
needing to visit a branch.
Benefits of Retail Banking
Retail banking offers several benefits. It provides
convenience, allowing customers easy access to financial services.
Accessibility is another key benefit, as these services are available to
a wide range of customers. Finally, retail banks offer a variety of
financial products, from savings accounts to loans, to meet different
financial needs.
Challenges in Retail Banking
Despite its benefits, retail banking faces several challenges.

Readiness Tip #1
Know your users:
Workload Modeling, including Funneling
12. Use REAL user behavior, not guesses…
Image sources (clockwise): SOASTA, kissmetrics.com, adobe.com
13. Readiness Tip #2
Test end-to-end
with full site functionality
in production
Yes, really.
14. Production Testing:
Goal: see where it strains, but never knock it over.
Must have: Orchestrator with a pulse on it all.
Homework: Learn about “test mode” from
your credit card gateway provider.
15. Readiness Tip #3
Pull out cables and plugs.
See what happens.
Prove you have no single point of failure (SPOF)
between the outside world and your systems:
ISPs, Routers, Firewalls, Load Balancers
18. Why “test” your CDN
You need to KNOW how well your CDN is protecting
user experience and relieving backend stress.
(A plan is good, proof is better)
19. Why “warm up” your CDN?
Make sure the items are on the shelves before
customers show up to browse.
Run external tests
with full geographic diversity
and at reduced scale
20. Warm up your cache too…
If you use caching, sending virtual users along to
force common assets into cache will make the real-
users visits more crisp.
At the beginning of tests, performance is sub-par and
then it improves. Let virtual users experience that,
not your customers.
