Beyond the Code: Mastering the Non-Technical Side of Performance Testing

It's a little late but let's get our fall season kicked off right. This presentation was presented at the Automation Summit last month by Mahalakshmi Rajan and it was very interesting. Far too often people focus on the technical and tool details for an engagement first and then get lost in the rabbit hole and don't give the non-technical details the attention that they deserve.

Beyond the Code: Mastering the Non-Technical Side of Performance Testing

Performance testing is often viewed as technical, but its success hinges on more than just running tests. Many teams struggle with aligning testing efforts with business goals, collaborating effectively, and communicating results in a way that drives action. This disconnect can lead to missed opportunities for improvement and inefficient use of resources.
In this session, we'll explore the non-technical side of performance testing, focusing on strategy, collaboration, and communication. You’ll learn how to align performance testing with business objectives, foster better teamwork, and report results effectively to make a real impact. This approach will help you turn performance data into actionable insights and drive meaningful improvements in your software.
