Performance Requirements: the Backbone of the Performance Engineering Process

Performance requirements should be tracked from system's inception through its whole lifecycle including design, development, testing, operations, and maintenance. They are the backbone of the performance engineering process. However, different groups of people are involved in each stage, and they use their own vision, terminology, metrics, and tools that make the subject confusing when you go into details. The presentation discusses existing issues and approaches in their relationship with the performance engineering process.
