Project description
Qentinel delivered to Efecte an integrated performance testing solution, which is now a standard part of Efecte's advanced and agile product development and innovation processes. The solution has the following components:
- Open source tool based components for running performance tests, collecting performance counters and analyzing results.
- A performance data warehouse for permanent storage of performance data.
- A Web-based performance portal for analyzing results, trends and alerts on possible performance hazards and decreases.
In addition, Qentinel continuously contributes to both performance testing in Efecte's customer delivery projects and in further expansion and development of the performance test suite used at Efecte.
Results and benefits
The main benefit for Efecte from the continuous performance testing solution has been the ability to detect and correct any potential performance bottlenecks when Efecte's products are still in development. The quick fix cycle helps improving the overall quality of the products, and has a marked positive effect on the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of Efecte's product development in performance-related issues. Over time, Efecte will be able to use the performance solution and its data to visualise performance trends and how changes in their product affect its performance. This helps Efecte not only save money in optimising its development efforts, but also to better anticipate its future performance needs as its business grows.
