You don’t need another thesis on the benefits of testing early and often. This guide is intended for performance engineers who get “why” to automate performance testing in CI/CD pipelines but need practical advice on “how.”

This paper helps you get from theory to practice. Specifically, we offer guidance on laying the foundation for a successful transition to an automated continuous testing approach, with pragmatic solutions to overcoming common automation blockers.

Topics include:

• Strategies for prioritizing what to automate
• Picking the right targets
• “Easy” scripting
• Best practices for developing dedicated performance pipelines
• Overcoming test infrastructure obstacles
• Ensuring trustworthy go/no-go decisions

Developed by performance engineers for performance engineers, “A practical guide to continuous performance testing” is your first best step to getting a continuous performance testing process up and running.
