Methodological and analytical foundations – understanding performance systematically

This training provides a thorough understanding of the methodological and analytical foundations of performance tests. Participants learn about key performance metrics and basic principles, and explore the operational queuing theory. A focus is placed on the modeling of IT systems using queue models and queue networks. Fundamental assumptions as well as open and closed systems are considered. On this basis, participants learn to derive performance metrics, verify measurement data for plausibility, and interpret results in a structured manner. The operational fundamentals support the evaluation of system behavior, scaling limits, and optimization potential.
