In reality, only highly scalable RUM solutions can collect data on all user actions, while less scalable tools must sample user actions and make inferences from partial data. RUM, however, has some limitations, including the following: RUM requires traffic to be useful. Performance testing based on variable metrics (i.e.,

Reinventing Performance Testing: New Technologies

Alex Podelko

I am looking forward to share my thoughts on ‘Reinventing Performance Testing’ at the imPACt performance and capacity conference by CMG held on November 7-10, 2016 in La Jolla, CA. Quite often the whole area of load testing is reduced to pre-production testing using protocol-level recording/playback. – Cloud.

Therefore, it was unsurprising to see a huge spike in traffic for Family Visa enrollment via Metrash. Let’s start with the spike in load: The high demand on family visa enrollments resulted in a huge traffic and CPU spike. You can test for them before releasing to production and can even simulate chaotic situations, e.g:
