Charles Vazac has described the server timing in a detailed manner in his article. He has split the response time and provided the information about each stage. I found this article very useful for Performance Engineer. This is an informative article on Server Timing and how to use it in performance testing. Read the article by clicking below link:
A performance improvement case study
This article is more relevant to Performance Engineering and use of Google Lighthouse. A practical case how Telus Digital improve the performance of the application?
Additional Details: In the open-source tool category Lighthouse is also included. Basically, it is a Google tool which checks the web-quality of a page and suggests to improve the performance.
Performance Testing Checklist
Performance Testing is a kind of art. It needs clear designing, logical scripting, meaningful result analysis and at last a tuned application which every client wants. Since many things, a performance tester needs to align during PT windows so there must be a check-list which can give a clear idea what needs to be done, what is completed and what is pending; without missing any important task. Vitaly Friedman has shared a front-end application performance testing checklist which will help you out to keep eyes on the completed and open tasks.
You can download the checklist (in PDF format):
Capacity planning in Performance Testing
Capacity planning in Performance Testing is a major topic which needs to be understood deeply. More or less capacity planning comes under Solution Architecture and Performance Engineering domain. A performance engineer involvement at the early stage can help to build a tuned application along with architect. Some basic rules are very well captured by Rich Schiesser in his post on Capacity Planning. You can treat those steps as a Mantra of capacity planning.
Capacity Planning: To structure the capacity of the hardware and software of the applications, so that they can handle the expected load.

Performance Engineering Basics
Performance Engineering; a trendy topic in 2018. As I mentioned in many posts that nowadays companies are more demanding for PE resource rather than a person has only PT skill. In this situation, some questions arise like why PE is so important? What are the activities involved in PE which is deferred than PT activities? What are the basic things which we need to learn for developing PE strategy? All these questions are very well answered in this article using simple bullet points. So read this article and enhance your PE knowledge.
Performance Test Life Cycle
Alexander Podelko, a well know personality in performance testing world. I like the way he explains the performance testing stuff. Luckily, I found his one of the finest document in which he described the PTLC term by dividing the things into small parts. Although you are a performance testing expert, still read this wonderful document once.
