As a follow up to my previous post about Apache’s Jmeter, today I will go over using the Jmeter proxy component to record your activities in Firefox and make a test plan. First thing we need to keep in mind as we build this plan, is our goal of actually simulating users. Sure, we could spin up a simple http sampler, setup a 40 thread group, and tell it to loop 100 times, but would this really simulate user load? Real users have pauses between their actions, they may use your site search with a variety of keywords, or they may just wander aimlessly. You also may notice trends in your log files, where you have 2 or more different general types of users. Lets setup a scenario today to simulate 2 of your theoretical user groups defined as follows: Your site has an average of 100 concurrent users 65% of your users follow scenario A 35% of your users follow scenario B

A while back I announced SearchMark, a Firefox plugin which automatically creates a Google Custom search engines for you based on your browser history and bookmarks. At the time I was only distributing the plugin through searchmark.org. However, yesterday I published it to addons.mozilla.com. I personally think this plugin is really cool. (But I would, I wrote it..) The idea is this: I often visit a website I think has good information, but I either forget to bookmark it, or I bookmark it can can’t find it in my bookmark list later. I always wished there was someway to search the text of sites you’ve visited or the text of sites you’ve bookmarked to find these old pages. For example, I recently bought an iPhone adaptor for my car from a company called Grom. However, I needed some support on the installation and couldn’t find their website again. So, I searched through my history and found it again rather quickly. (It seems I was accidently searching on Gorm, which is something else entirely.)

The G1 garbage collector has been made available in the 1.6_14 release of Sun’s JDK. There was some controversy initially when this was released due to some wording in the license, but the wording has since been updated. Sun was trying to indicate that no support would be provided for the G1 garbage collector, yet it initially came across that you could not even use it unless you had a paid support contract (you can read more about the licensing changes here).

I was recently confronted with an application that suffered from abysmal performance… and by "abysmal" I mean "really really bad". My task was simple: Make the website go fast! It was an interesting challenge, really, and it got me thinking about the difference between server performance and application performance. All tools and best practices aside, the thing that really hit home for me was the sheer number of places I found that needed fixing. Yes, the code was an issue, but before I even started looking at the code (and thru the judicious application of appropriate tools), I found at least 3 places that affected the server itself.So the difference between server performance and application performance can be summarized pretty much like this:

At one point in my career I thought I knew what performance tuning was… I would have described it as “writing tight code.” (Remember that phrase? “Tight code”?) And if I were to be tasked with fixing performance issues, I would have jumped on my computer, gotten a local copy of the app going, and started hitting pages to find the slow ones, then look at the code for ways to fix the issue. That, however, was before I knew what performance engineering really is.

The following example shows how you can style the Halo Accordion header (with default Spark skin) in Flex 4 by creating a new skin based on the default Spark skin and modifying the various skin parts.
The default Halo Accordion header Spark skin can be found at \frameworks\projects\sparkskins\src\mx\skins\spark\AccordionHeaderSkin.mxml.
