Book Review: Art of Application Performance Testing by Ian Molyneaux : Publisher- O'Reilly: ISBN- 13: 978-0596520663
This is the first book, I have read on performance testing after long years of development.
Book is straight forward and is fast read. Book covers lot but just touches the surface. This book is good to know basic concepts of Performance Testing but as person will be reading more and practicing more this book will be of little use.
Certainly this book is just stepping stone for any aspiring Load and Performance tester.
Book does not focus on any platform or tool.
Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author.
Further reading: Software Performance and Scalability: A Quantitative Approach (http://www.amazon.com/Software-Performance-Scalability-Quantitative-Engineering/dp/0470462531) and Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications (http://www.amazon.com/Performance-Testing-Guidance-Web-Applications/dp/0735625700) are two books which might be interesting to you.
