beTech Presents: Load Testing

Before you bring your Web server to its knees with that application, be sure to check out Nick Skriloff’s beTech presentation on Load Testing next Wednesday at 3:00. Nick will walk you through some of the work he’s done to load test and profile J2EE and Ruby on Rails applications. For the J2EE side we will look at using The Grinder and the Mercury Diagnostic Profiler. For the Rails side we will look at using The Grinder and ruby-prof.

Nick Skriloff has been developing software since 1990. He is presently the Director of Quality Assurance for an arm of the Darden Business School called Darden Solutions. He has logged hundreds of hours doing performance testing web applications in production and looks forward to sharing his discoveries.
