The Need for Software Assessment Tools•Developers face tight deadlines and limited resources

•As customers demand a focus on feature sets, performance testing gets delayed

•Benefits to performance testing early and often:

– Time and money savings

– Competitive advantage

A change in code that costs $1 to fix during development costs:

$100 to fix in a completed program

Thousands of $$ after the software has been deployed
