David Burns and David Henderson will be discussing the framework that they developed to record the performance of smartMARKETER eChannel. They will be discussing how they went from a manual approach to a fully automated process for recording performance data. From this data we can produce a view of the user experience we are offering. The initial results of this technology has significantly improved the performance of the smartMARKETER eChannel admin booth over the past several months.
Performance Framework
The framework works by recording the structure of the page that has been rendered and then parses the page through a ruleset to produce a score of how the page had performed.
This score has helped us prioritize work so that we can offer the best user experience to our users. The framework has shown that we have made reductions of up to 85% in the size of the page that is delivered to our users. This has meant that our users, who use the system for many hours of the day, do not need to download as much data when they use our application.The framework has also pointed out other optimizations, like the format of the data we transmit, that needed to be made so that our users can have a very good experience with our application.
They will be explaining how this framework was developed and how it fits into our monthly iterations. David Burns will also discuss how it is part of our test automation strategy within the company. He will also be discussing one of the side projects that has spun-off this work. The "Testers Heads Up Display" allows testers to use this performance data, with other data feeds like bug tracking and source repository to help diagnose issues as they explore the system.
We will be publishing the slides from their presentation with a demo of the reporting portal that was created. The presentation will also be recorded and will be available on YouTube a few weeks later.
We wish them luck with their presentation on Thursday afternoon!
