- Summary:
- Service quality and cost control are critical success factors for the communications industry, and performance engineering is an essential ingredient in achieving both. It enables service quality to be _built in_ to products in contrast to solely reacting to the latest crisis. Cost reduction is achieved by addressing potential problems early before the costs to remedy rise and large failure costs are incurred.This book provides both introductory material that gives a good feel for the subject area and its value, and in-depth case studies illustrating the latest tools, technique
