Project Management in Performance and Load Testing Projects
There are basically two models of providing performance testing services to the customer: outstaff and fixed price. If your customers chose outstaffing, it means they have an experienced testing engineer on staff. This person will be able to set goals and tasks for the testing process and act as a performance testing manager. In this case, they only pay your engineers’ hours, and take full responsibility for the results.Fixed price means that the responsibility is on your side. Your customer can’t run the tests themself, and wants a package deal. As a performance testing manager, you’re going to have to design everything from scratch. In this article, we’re looking at stages of a fixed price project, as seen by a QA project manager.

There are two main approaches to testing – manual or automated. Both are critiqued and advocated all over the web, so choosing the one to fit your project is not an easy task.
