Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand · UTC+7 ## Questions about adding a Performance Test Engineer to your team. When should we run performance testing? Before a launch, before a migration and before any expected traffic peak. After that it runs as a baseline in your pipeline, so slowdowns show up in the build that caused them. Running tests early is far cheaper than finding the limit on launch day, when every minute of slowness costs customers. What if we don't know our expected traffic? We model it from your analytics, your growth plans and comparable launches, and agree a target together. The tests then measure something that matters, such as response time at twice your current peak. As real traffic arrives, the model is updated and the tests follow it. ## Add remote performance test engineers to your team. Tell us what is coming, whether a launch, a migration or a seasonal peak, and the traffic you expect. We'll suggest how performance work fits into a full-time QA role and send the monthly fee.
