Summary:

We use tools to determine things like “The Submit Order Page takes a REALLY long time to load when we get more than 500 orders in an hour.” While that is extremely valuable information, it’s only mildly useful to the person who needs to resolve the issue. The person responsible for providing a resolution needs to know what part of that page, or what process on a back end server, or which table in the database is the cause of the issue before she can start trying to find a resolution for it. This How-To discusses the step between detection and resolution of a bottleneck.

Objectives:

* Learn how to capture metrics by tier
* Learn how to design tests to find breakpoints
