Re: [OpenSTA-users] Performance testing with Open STA

[Bernie V. <Ber...@iP...>]

Thanks for the compliment Olaf. Coming from you, that means a lot.

I think that in some cases I have used far too few words, like referring to 
the first type of testing as "capacity planning" which is much more then 
testing. More accurately, I should have referred it as capacity testing 
which can be part of capacity planning. There are other cases where capacity 
planning is just monitoring load and extrapolating what additional hardware 
would be required to stay ahead of  increased demand using complex modeling 
tools, spreadsheets, and Ouija boards.

I'll try and clean it up so that, if taken literally, does more good then 
harm and then submit it under testing strategies as you requested.

Cheers,
-Bernie
