The increasing complexities in the software development environment, coupled with challenging deadline commitments, put the IT professionals under great stress. They have time to focus only on the "must-do", with the result that most issues are handled in an ad-hoc and reactive manner, without the required due diligence.

Not surprisingly, it has been seen repeatedly that a large percentage of software deployment failure is attributed to performance and scalability problems.

If your organization is involved in development of enterprise-class business applications or products, performance engineering is not something you can compromise on. Since no one tool, framework, or a methodology can help you with all your requirements, you will need experts who can guide you with it.
