Two other CMG-T half-day classes cover Modeling and Capacity Planning:

- Capacity Planning Boot Camp by Dr. Neil J. Gunther, Performance Dynamics

- Modeling and Forecasting by Dr Michael A. Salsburg, Unisys

Capacity Planning is a core area of CMG so there are many presentations investigating the subject in detail. Starting with the first part of the keynote presentation:

- Is Capacity Planning Still Relevant? by Jerred Ruble, TeamQuest Corporation

A caution here is that many modeling and capacity planning presentations are pretty advanced for an unprepared listener. While I strongly believe that a performance tester must understand the basic concepts of modeling and capacity planning (to be able to do "back of the envelope" calculations), serious mathematical modeling may be pretty complicated and is rather optional for performance testers.

Another CMG focus track is Software Performance Engineering (SPE). There is a great tutorial to start from:

- Software Performance Engineering: A Tutorial Introduction by Dr. Lloyd G. Williams, PerfX and Connie U. Smith, Performance Engineering Services

The following presentations are directly related to performance testing:

- How to Select Significant Workloads in Performance Models by Paolo Cremonesi, Politecnico di Milano

- Multiple Dimensions of Performance Requirements by Alexander Podelko, Oracle

- Performance Management – Top 10 Traps by Megh Thakkar, CPT Global

A must-listen is the presentation about typical mistakes implementing performance projects (while it is about SPE, almost everything is true for performance testing too):
