About this Episode

Today we’ll open up the Test Guild vault for an interview I did with Mark Tomlinson five years ago about performance testing as a team sport. Mark is a performance engineering and software testing enthusiast, and co-founder of the popular PerfBytes podcasts. In this episode Mark shares how to get your team to adopt modern performance testing and engineering strategies, practices, and behaviors for better performing technology. I think this message is needed even more than ever, and that’s why I’m re-sharing it with you.
