One Line Summary

Discussion surrounding performance regression testing

Abstract

This talk is aimed at fostering discussion about performance testing. There are several frameworks in place for automating tests, but no one seems to add tests, or run the test suites on a regular basis. Let’s discuss what the barriers are, and how we move forward to get more complete testing to find performance regressions sooner.
