Interview Question : At what stage would users end up phoning customer services or sales?
Answer : The goal of performance testing is not to find bugs, but to eliminate bottlenecks and establish a baseline for future regression testing. To conduct performance testing is to engage in a carefully controlled process of measurement and analysis. Ideally, the software under test is already stable enough so that this process can proceed smoothly.A clearly defined set of expectations is ssential for meaningful performance testing. If you don't know where you want to go in terms of the erformance of the system, then it matters little which direction you take (remember Alice and the Cheshire Cat?). For example, for a Web application, you need to know at least two things:expected load in terms of concurrent users or HTTP connections acceptable response time
