The key is to focus on some important points, related to the following topics:
- Define the goals of the performance testing project.
- How to identify and build the right scenarios.
- Understand the software architecture and the technology stack.
- Monitor the back-end and find solutions.
- Consider the front-end and the user experience.
In theory, these topics are very clear, but in real projects things become a bit more complicated, and sometimes our logic fails trying to choose the right path.
