Code Camp Cambridge: Identify & Fix Performance Problems with Visual Studio 2012
by
As promised here are the slides and links for my Identify & Fix Performance Problems with Visual Studio 2012 talk that I did at Code Camp in Cambridge today (10/20/2012).
It’s a common problem: you’re getting close to when you’re supposed to deploy your new ASP.NET or WCF application in to production and somehow it just doesn’t seem very fast. Or maybe you’ve deployed your application in to production and now you’re getting complaints from customers that it’s just plain crazy-slow.
Yikes! You’ve got performance problems. Thankfully, Visual Studio has some great features to help out of this bind.
In this session, Ben will start out with a running web application with performance problems and show you how to find and fix these performance problems using Web Performance Tests, Load Tests, Unit Tests, Performance Explorer and code profiling. Along the way, Ben will discuss what a Load Test Rig is, how to set up a Load Test Rig, and how Team Foundation Server can help you to catch performance issues *before* they become problems.
