TURNERSVILLE, N.J., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Computer Measurement Group (CMG), the Information Technology professionals responsible for planning, measuring and managing the world's largest IT infrastructures, announced it will provide industry-leading content for professionals responsible for performance testing of their hardware and software at the 33rd Computer Measurement Group 2007 annual conference taking place from December 2-7 in San Diego, CA at the Manchester Grand Hyatt.

"Most experts agree that the skills necessary for performance testers require more than knowing how to create a script for a particular load testing tool. Systems are so complicated now that the sum of specialized expert views doesn't give the whole performance picture. Performance testers must get the skills necessary to do their job," said Alex Podelko, CMG Subject Area Co-Chair on Computer Performance Evaluation. "The question remains - how do performance testers get such skills at both a basic and advanced level? CMG'07 is the one single practical conference that covers all key topics regarding computer performance measurement and testing."

CMG'07 attendees will choose from over 150 technical, tutorial, panel and management sessions. Participants will network together, become immersed in new products and services at the Exhibitor Expo, as well share experiences with industry peers.

Here are some of the upcoming sessions that focus on measurement and testing:

Load Testing Monitoring, SPE & Performance Analysis Performance Testing: A Art and Science of Measurement Heuristic Approach Software & Systems Unix/Linux CMG Quick Start Course Performance Assurance - Providing Value Beyond Performance Testing Automating the Analysis of Windows System Performance Measurement Load Test Results to Assess and Analysis Scalability, Stability of a Component Performance Testing IS a Introduction to z/OS Monitoring, Tuning, Spectator Sport: Accelerate and the Workload Manager Testing Cycles with Collaborative Testing An Approach for Accurately Introduction to TCP/IP Performance Recreating Web Workloads Management from Production Data Software Performance Modeling and Forecasting Lifecycle at a Large National Bank Normalizing Load Testing Multiple Dimensions of Performance Runs - What to do When Load Requirements Testing Runs are Inconsistent How to Select Significant Workloads in Performance Models Top 10 Ways to Kill a Software Performance Engineering Initiative Performance Management - Top 10 Traps

CMG members are experts at evaluating and deploying computer systems optimized for cost and quality of service. Members include professional performance management personnel from the largest corporations around the world. CMG helps its members keep ahead of emerging technologies and meet the challenges of new computing architectures and directions.
