About HEAP (Healthcare, economics, anthropology and Performance)

So what's common to Healthcare, economics, anthropology and Performance? It takes many layers to peel to reach to the truth. Thanks for your sharing my journey of attempted deep dive to things that matter most to me, the HEAP.

Performance engineering, the Restaurant analogy

Image
Can you help ‘tune’ this restaurant?   Recently a performance test COE I looked after went through massive expansion and we had to find a lot of resources in short time. Along with experienced resources we also looked at getting some fresh engineers and get them trained in performance testing. Question arose, as to what criteria we need to choose in screening the candidates. After some deliberation I came up on following.   1. High energy and motivated 2. Passion for technology 3. Quest for knowledge 4. Analytical mindset   My able colleagues assisted me in rigorous interviews. I focused on evaluating analytical mindset aspect of the candidates. There was some disappointment in the process.   I was expecting the resources to floor me with their fresh and invigorating ideas and their analytical capabilities but it happened far too less for my liking. It’s my conjecture that social media is taking toll on mental development by taking away free time that w

Redeeming reusable quotes

Some original quotes that you may use with due credits in your presentations, smart alec responses or generally to relieve stress. First quote is provided in template that I would like to request you to use. I automated the totally useless activity that we should not be even doing and saved huge money for the company.          ~ Vikram Chandna NoDev, need is the mother of invention. Unpredictive Analytics, 'tell me what I  don't know' Artificial Intelligence- fed bank statements, credit card details, diary scans,  lipid profile, facebook timeline, blog hits analytics and recent job performance appraisal and applied K-means clustering algorithm and ARIMA model to get some guidance. It told me I should be sleeping on left side at 45 degrees angle. Thanks God for creating all the species. We would be running out of names for the latest products. Doc prescribed Agile for 'collective amnesia'. I had to get DevOps guy. I wasn't sure

The power of questioning and observation

Just another day I was involved in analyzing the performance of an online banking application. There were two set of transactions. One set was lightweight for mobile users and another heavy one, as it was for inhouse desktop users. Naturally latter was experiencing higher response times and where team was tending to focus on. I do like to start by defining the problem correctly as it saves much time. The objective of test was infrastructure evaluation. Higher response time for a set of transaction was immaterial. What was required for our evaluation was consistent response times and throughput that enabled our infrastructure evaluation exercise. I did a quick pattern evaluation and found that heavy and light transactions were getting equally impacted by oscillations. Thus we had to focus our energy more on identifying the source of oscillation. In crisis it is easy enough to get swayed and target the obvious or the low hanging fruits, which does nothing to get us closer to end goal. &
