Data from performance & load tests can be difficult to interpret. Process behaviour charts cut out noise & enable you to analyse your data by listening to the voice of the process. This talk provides examples & will give you the resources to create process behaviour charts for your test data.

Couple more #accessibility easy resolutions. Reduce emojis in posts, they play havoc for screen readers. Especially when they are after every word. Don’t use justified text format in documents. Justified changes the gaps (kerning) between words making it harder to read for some people.

I write my blogs to share what I am learning and have learned. It is nice that my blogs had more visitors and views in 2024 than in any previous year. Thank you to everyone who read my posts testandanalysis.home.blog
