Performance Testing 101: What Managers Need to Know
Monday, 5 January, 2026

Performance testing isn’t always required, but knowing when it is can make or break your product. In this episode, Mike Hrycyk and guests Ryan Hobbs (BC Pension Corp.) and Praneeth Eadara (PLATO) explore real criteria for deciding whether to invest in performance testing, what’s at risk if they decide to skip it, how to scope a first project, and what managers should consider before committing time and budget. Whether you’re a QA manager, developer, or business stakeholder, this panel will help you to understand the value (and limits) of performance testing – and how to plan for it long before peak load becomes a problem!
