Performance profiling
This section will focus on performance and application profiling for performance measurement. Profiling is an important step in any application development and deployment life cycle. It helps us to perform the following two things:
- Defining a benchmark for expected performance outcomes
- Measuring and comparing the current performance outcome against benchmarks
The second step defines further actions to be taken, in order to take performance to the benchmark level.
Application performance
Performance means different things to different people when used in terms of software applications. It must have some context for better understanding. Application performance is measured against two sets of performance metrics. The actual performance observed or experienced by the application users remains one of the most important metrics for measuring application performance. It includes the average response time during peak and normal loads. Measurements related to average response time...
