When did your performance testing last visit the doctor?

In a world where we rely so heavily on technology, applications and big data to carry out daily tasks, campaigns and deliverables efficiently, you would think that an IT health check is essential for most businesses. Just like us visiting the doctor for a regular check-up, your IT systems and software need to book an appointment with the technical testing specialists every once in a while - examining possible irregularities or getting health advice.

Find out below how you can sample Spike95’s performance testing health check.
In just 15 minutes, we’ll give you questions to ask about your current site performance, limits and constraints you may have, where performance testing fits in your strategy and how well you define your users’ performance requirements. Then we’ll look deeper into key factors including where you run any performance tests, people and skills as well as tools, data and environments. You can take the questions to use yourself or answer them and (assuming you are a genuine business user) we’ll send you a high-level summary report.

As businesses embrace and adapt to new technologies heading into the next phase of recovery from the detrimental impact of Covid-19, now is the perfect time to review your maturity and capability. Checking whether the right foundations are in place will maximise your business’s IT estate for both short-term and long-term sustainability. A performance test health check from Spike95 will assess your current approach to performance testing your software. We work with your team and third-party suppliers to conduct a full review of your current situation, identify areas of risk and provide a heat map of improvement opportunities and potential solutions.
Some recent examples of poor system performance include:

• Regular outage reports across key global platforms (Down Detector)
• Doctors frustrated by failures of Attend Anywhere system during coronavirus crisis (Guardian,14 May)
• Customer frustration due to virtual queue waiting times on UK DIY stores (INews and others)

Of course, as discussed in our other recent articles, this is also a boom time for technology innovation and now is the time to ensure you are ready!
