Abstract

En 中文

Performance design and performance testing are necessarily different from functional test case design. A rigorous test-driven design methodology isn't practical for all performance measurement. A test-first approach to performance provides some advantages in a TDD environment. Experience with applying early performance testing in a TDD framework for a device-driver development project provides insight into the test-first approach. The results show a trend of performance improvement throughout the development life cycle and better performance compared to an earlier release.
