It's time. Gobble, gobble, gobble. Eat stuffing. Oh, check the website to see if it's still up and running. Damn. Go to the office, work 72 hours straight and then try to drive home. Mark and James will help you to avoid this plan, hopefully. We talk about default carts, Docker and last-minute CDN configuration. Anything to help you survive!

Every tool is extensible, from commercial closed source to freeware to open source. It simply becomes a question of how and where you hook into the system. This is why performance testing tools are built around general purpose computer languages. At the time a tool is designed and constructed it’s impossible to foresee all of the possible interfaces and applications it will be used to test. As a r...

In the eventual career of a performance tester there will come a day when your current tool just can’t cut it, or your boss wants you to switch, or the R&D department for your favorite tool all give up and just quit. For whatever reason, it’s good to know the ins and outs of switching tools and converting your work into a new tool. This season of PerfBytes is formally supported by our sponsors Hew...

Have you seen me? I'm a tool feature that's been missing for many months or even years. In this next episode of PerfBytes we'll investigate exactly what kinds of features and capabilities we'd love to see make their way into every performance tool on the market! So many times these great ideas are left aside due to complexity, cost or lack of popularity. But still - wouldn't it be nice!?! PerfByte...

Waaaaaay back when in the last century there was this crazy idea about IPv6 giving enough unique addresses to give one to each individual atom on 100 planets the size of the Earth. Well, you might not have that many gadgets in your house right now, but the Internet of Things will soon be upon you and your business. What about the performance of all those internetty-connectedy things? How's that go...

Only a few E-tailers around the world took a hit on this black Friday edition of the #notd. We investigate vocal of hitmaker and songstress diva Adele as the latest victim of IT hijinks along with the millions of viewers to Eurovision 2015. The Aussie NRL site takes a dive with an odd choice for backend ticket processing providers; rugby players don't scrum with fine wines. Bwwwaaaaahahahahahaaaaa...
