Are you about to deploy a new application or upgrade an existing one?

Are you concerned about its performance?

You may believe performance isn’t an issue because:

• You have followed best practices during design and development
• Your application’s infrastructure is high spec and you can easily add more hardware
• The application/technology is used elsewhere and supports a similar or greater load
• Your application’s vendor claims they have performance tested it
• You performance tested the last version

But, have you considered:

• Performance bottlenecks are rarely solved by increasing hardware
• Most off-the-shelf applications are customised during client installations
• Bottlenecks are often located in custom code or in integrations between applications
• Databases always perform well with small amounts of data. Design and indexing only becomes a problem when data reaches your production levels

Do you have ensure your application performs as part of due diligence or as a Change Advisory Board (CAB) / Change Control requirement?

If your application doesn’t perform what would the damage be:

• Loss of revenue?
• Loss of customers?
• Loss of productivity?
• Backlog of work?
• Media attention and damage to your brand?

Clearly, it’s not just your reputation or job that’s on the line – it’s potentially your entire business. Every day, the media is reporting more and more Web Performance and Security issues, some so vicious that they close the victim companies down.

Test and Go is a new service from StarBase that gives you access to industry leading performance and application security testing without the hassle or cost usually associated with getting it right.
