Show Notes:

There are more than five reasons companies are not seeing the value of load testing, but these are the most common I see at companies.

  • 5 – Wrong roles with wrong skills
  • 4 – Bad Environments
  • 3 – Too Developer Centric – focused on pipelines
  • 2 – Weak Analysis
  • 1 – No Perceived Value By The Business

When the business sees no value in something but they still have to do it, they will find the least expensive way to accomplish it. This means it is important for you as a performance engineer to SHOW VALUE to the organization. This means providing more than test results, but information that helps the business be successful and efficient.
