Presentation
Best Practice Methodologies for Measuring Performance of an Enterprise Application
Performance Management Unified Process (PMUP) for an enterprise application is key to achieving business objectives and maximizing returns on IT investment. Due to increasing system complexity, rapidly evolving platforms, shorter time to market and inadequate quantitative models and tools, performance management often represents the most challenging aspect for enterprise IT.  Enterprise architectural and design faults are reflected in poor performance of applications.

No amount of fine-tuning of the code can disguise the performance implications resulting from bad architecture or design decisions.  It becomes imperative to use sound principles and best practice for better performance.  According to present market trends poorly performing IT applications cost the worlds industrialized nations GBP45 billion annually. According to Forrester report the average cost of the site downtime at about $8K/hr.

A proactive enterprise performance engineering approach required that reduces risk, improves cost-effectiveness and time-to-market for performance critical systems. Performance analysis is one of the main concerns in software industry.

This session will discuss the importance of performance for an Enterprise Java Applications, the best practice methodologies for measuring performance of an enterprise application across SDLC from pre-deployment to post-deployment, performance trades-off with scalability and balance with quality of services, sound architecture and design principle for better performance, key skills of performance architect. Also, the session highlights four discipline of performance engineering - Workload Modeling, System Performance Modeling, Testing & Benchmarking, and Tuning & Optimization.

The session concludes summarizing recommendations for attaining the best performance for enterprise Java applications
