The two major sources of risk to systems reliability are technology configuration and the nature of the business itself:

Technology – Risks derive from the components and tiers that e-business systems have in common as well as those centered around the technology and products of a particular company, for example, Microsoft, Sun, IBM, Oracle, etc

Business – Risks stem from business or market factors – for example, promotional campaigns, seasonal activity surges, and the initiation or response to competitive campaigns.

Every component of an application configuration is vulnerable to reliability risks related to Performance, functionality or both. The fact that there are many components increases the risks. The very rapid pace of changes across all the components, aimed at quick deployment of beneficial functionality and technological improvements, compounds reliability risks even further.

Regardless of the terms you may use to describe testing it, performance can be classified into three main categories:

• Speed – Does the application respond quickly enough for the intended users?
• Scalability – Will the application handle the expected user load and beyond?
• Stability – Is the application stable under expected and unexpected user loads?

Not having definite answers to these questions keeps many CIO’s very anxious, or at least it should.
