Despite the fact that enterprise IT departments have invested heavily in dynamic testing tools to verify and validate application performance and scalability before releasing business applications into production, performance issues and response time latency continue to negatively impact the business. By supplementing dynamic performance testing with automated structural quality analysis, development teams have the ability to detect, diagnose, and analyze performance and scalability issues more effectively. This white paper presents a six-step Performance Modeling Process using automated structural quality analysis to identify these potential performance issues earlier in the development lifecycle.
