Customers rely on modern software systems to deliver performance in terms of non-functional metrics, such as usability, reliability, and robustness. Today's software professionals need to know how to use performance engineering strategies to meet the performance demands put on modern systems. In this course, learn what performance is as it relates to software development. Investigate the challenges that modern software faces in meeting performance metrics. Identify the impact on the business when performance issues occur. Study what performance engineering is, the history of performance engineering, and its benefits. Moving along, explore the non-functional metrics that go into measuring performance. Examine the specifics of the performance engineering approach. Finally, specify the roles and responsibilities of a performance engineer. Upon completion, you'll know how to improve software performance using performance engineering techniques.
