Product Description
Product Description
The shift from stand-alone desktop applications to Web-enabled applications that accommodate hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users makes performance testing critical. Find out how to make your Microsoft® .NET-based applications perform as well as or better than traditional desktop applications with this book—written by the Microsoft team that tests and tunes hundreds of Web sites and Web-based applications. You’ll learn how to take advantage of the best available tools to plan and execute performance tests, configure profile tools, analyze performance data from Microsoft Internet Information Services, Microsoft ASP.NET, managed code, the SQL tier, and more.

Format:Hardcover
As the other reviewer says, performance testing is an important subject, but this book doesn't really do the subject justice.
It doesn't really offer anything that the MSDN Library and a bit of experience and common sense won't have taught you already.

Format:Hardcover
Performance analysis and tuning is a very important topic, and one that gets very little coverage in paper. This book is a welcome bookshelf addition, covering all the major Microsoft tools, and a few non-Microsoft ones. As well as instructions on installing and using the tools, there are lots of tips on finding performance problems and how to address them.
Incidentally, there's been a recent title change: it's "Performance _Testing_ Microsoft .NET Applications" not "Performance Tuning..."

BEST PERFORMANCE TESTING BOOK AROUND
18 Oct 2002
Format:Hardcover
I've recently had an opportunity to read Microsoft ACE Team's ... book "Performance Testing Microsoft .NET Web Applications" and would highly suggest this book to anyone who is looking to find performance bugs or increase performance on your teams web applications. The book is well written, gives real world examples, explains the most common bottlenecks in different areas and how to detect them (disks, network, web tier, sql tier, etc) and has a great section on how TCA works. ... I highly recommend this book.

The only but Best Book I have seen
5 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
This is the First book that discuss testing web application using Microsoft ACT (which I find not the best testing tool, see Astra Load Test, it is perfect).
the book will divide the testing to phases and tiers, for example it dicusses how to optimized and find bottle neck in web tier (ASP.net Code), managed code and SQL server.

I didn't find anther book that discuss "Stress Testing ASP.net" application.
The will tell you how the found the "Memory Leakage" and they will tell you their exprience in finding problems with web sites.
If you r intented to "know" how to stress test you application, buy this book now
