Computer Measurement Group Extends its Industry Leadership in the Area of Computer Measurement and Load Testing

TURNERSVILLE, N.J., Nov. 7 -- 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:
