Applications that work perfectly in controlled settings often fail in production environments, impacting business operations. This book explores a frequently overlooked aspect of software development: non-functional design and testing. In the real world, hostile production conditions and changing business usage can lead to unforeseen downtime or unacceptable system performance. Written by technologists and based on real field experience, the book examines common failure scenarios, defensive design patterns, and effective performance strategies.

Structured to follow the software life cycle, Patterns for Performance and Operability provides advice and examples-based instructions at every phase. You can read it from start to finish or go directly to those chapters that interest you the most. Whatever approach you choose, you will learn:How to: · Define and document comprehensive non-functional requirements for any software system · Define scope and logistics for non-functional test activities · Execute non-functional tests and report results clearly and effectively · Patterns for defensive software designs in common software scenarios that promote operability and availability · Implement the right level of reporting, monitoring, and trending for highly available production software systems Patterns for: · Software designs that support simpler and more efficient operation in a production environment · Software design that support high-performance and scalability Strategies and Techniques for: · Techniques for managing and troubleshooting during a production crisis · Strategies for resisting project pressure to compromise on quality or completeness of non-functional activities in the software cycle
