Embedding Performance into Continuous Integration: an innovative approach for efficient quality and performance assurance in Java development projects

Makram Hanin

While state-of-the art application performance technologies reached production operations and performance testers, JEE developers and architects are still showing some resistance to adopt performance engineering technologies mainly because of the high overhead and effort they experienced with “traditional” approaches and technologies. Embedding Performance into Continuous Integration is a valuable and efficient approach to get JEE developers and architects on the “performance engineering board”. Since, Software developers and architects have a difficult challenge: they have to change, add, improve code that other developers in the team will use, but if they introduce functional or performance problems, or they break the build, everyone will suffer. This presentation introduces an innovative approach and essential technical elements to enable the industrialization of application performance and quality assurance for JEE development projects.
