State of Performance Engineering

Report Overview:

• The discipline of performance engineering is often reserved for specialists.
• There is little data available to enterprises to help them understand the current practices and how other organisations are managing it.
• This research fills the void by combining the opinions of 515 senior decision makers and the perspective of subject matter experts from Sogeti, Neotys and outside practitioners to explore the landscape of performance engineering.

Performance engineering is a crucial enabler of business success. Yet there is little data available to enterprises to help them understand current performance engineering practices and how other organizations are managing them.

This report is designed to offer insight and best practices to all stakeholders in your organization dealing with application performance, including: executives, business and product owners, architects, developers, quality assurance engineers, tool coordinators, infrastructure engineers, and system administrators.
