Are your development teams truly as effective as they could be?

In a fast moving world, development teams need to be finely tuned, innovating and rapidly delivering software and results that help their organisations become more relevant. These development teams need to be harnessing the power of modern development approaches such as Agile and DevOps and ensuring that they get the most from their development tools.

Equinox IT has today launched a new company, Wild Strait, to deliver a world-first software performance product, developed in New Zealand’s innovation capital, Wellington.

The 20th Workshop on Performance and Reliability, New York, May 2013

In mid-May 2013 I joined colleague Richard Leeke for the 20th Workshop on Performance and Reliability (WOPR) in the Garment District of the Big Apple.

In a previous blog entry (Calculating Percentiles with Tableau.) I discussed ways to visualise the distribution of transaction response times and showed how a percentile chart and a scatter plot can provide a very effective and complementary pair of views of the same data.  In particular, I described how to make that viable with large datasets.

Equinox Director and Principal Consultant Richard Leeke is the content owner and facilitator for this year's prestigious Workshop on Performance and Reliability (WOPR) conference being held in the US in three weeks time. In its 17th year, the 3-day WOPR is an invite only conference for a small group of world leading experts in performance testing. The conference theme for this year is 'Finding Bottlenecks' and was set by Richard.
