application performance engineering
{{Short description|Method of testing in various settings}}
Application performance engineering is a method to develop and test application performance in various settings, including mobile computing, the cloud, and conventional information technology (IT).
Methodology
According to the American National Institute of Standards and Technology, nearly four out of every five dollars spent on the total cost of ownership of an application is directly attributable to finding and fixing issues post-deployment. A full one-third of this cost could be avoided with better software testing."The Economic Impacts of Inadequate Infrastructure for Software Testing," National Institute of Standards and Technology.{{Full|date=May 2014}}
Application performance engineering attempts to test software before it is published."Code Complete," Steve McConnell. Microsoft Press.
