PRESENTATION: Crash and Burn! Load Testing and Optimizing PHP Apps with JMeter and Xdebug

Presented by Brian DeShong

Has your application gone from being a no-name site to playing in the big leagues? Are you now seeing bottlenecks that are a complete mystery to you? Or are you itching to load test your site, but don't know how to go about it?

Well, have no fear: JMeter and Xdebug are coming to your rescue!

In this talk, Brian will demonstrate how you can use JMeter and Xdebug to measure PHP application performance while identifying bottlenecks. You will learn how to use Xdebug's profiling data to identify and correct these bottlenecks.

In the course of our demonstration, we'll also look at how you can use JMeter to load test your web application.

If you love network graphs, thrashing hard disks, and tons of simulated web site traffic, you won't want to miss Atlanta PHP in May!
