Performance Engineering SIG: Education 101

[wrijo05]

The October 11 edition of the Vivit Performance Engineering Special Interest Group which was an exciting session. This discussion focused on Performance Engineering education.

 

Performance Engineering is relevant and compelling, yet is still misunderstood in some circles. This session addressed the primary challenges around education; who what where and how.

 

During the session we discussed:

 

1. Meticulously sequenced learning
2. Animated diagrams (visual cheat sheets)
3. Narrated videos reveal animations
4. Runnable scripts of commands in sequence
5. Reference to other training.

[Hallett German]

Is this meant to go under APM or PPM? If the latter, please move to the right group to get the correct audience.

[wrijo05]

Until the Blazemeter community is established Performance Engineering will be best fit with the APM product line as I covered how to use CA APM and APM Mobile to 'Shift Right' to validate real customer usage with Performance Engineering.

[Haruhiko Davis]

Nice to see PE getting some internal recognition. Should definitely be closely tied to APM.

Thanks Jonathon for the clarification. When I responded, this was a blank discussion,message at the time so was hard to figure out what it was. This is a great topic near and dear to many of us and I look forward to your future posts
