Scalability and performance test methodology has been developed at Appvance to identify and quantify the benefits of business optimization, modeled after methods that are in place in organizations like General Motors, BEA, Lockheed Martin, Oracle, and the European Union. The methodology makes apparent the tradeoffs a software developer makes when choosing coding techniques, code libraries, and APIs. Despite the need for scalability and performance testing, organizations do not incorporate it into their SOA application usage.
