Performance testing - reducing risk

There are plenty of high profile stories demonstrating the importance of performance testing in reducing the likelihood of loss of reputation or revenue. In May 2012, during the Facebook IPO, the NASDAQ trading system folded under the volume of trading orders. This resulted in NASDAQ having to pay discomfited users $63 million in compensation and fines of $10 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The cost of this kind of performance failure can be measured, not just in lost sales or financial penalties, but also in damage to reputation. As a result, almost all forward thinking organisations now realise the importance of performance testing and it is becoming a well-established part of a mature release process.
