Performance testing is an essential component of building fast and reliable web services. Until recently, this testing typically happened later in the development process and was often performed by a separate team or even a third party. But speed is the competitive advantage for companies, and prioritizing testing during the development process can speed time to market for new applications.

There can be as many as 64 important business metrics for your company to track (according to nTask). That can sound daunting. But if your organization doesn’t have the capacity to track all of them, it should at least track the most important ones according to its business model, stage and focus areas.

And because security metrics themselves can be tricky to assess, tracking IoT device security is increasingly a challenge.
