Uptime is the Bottom Line.

“A customer said the site is slow.Can you make it faster?”

“Can we build feature X by tomorrow?”

“Thanks for pushing feature X, but nowA, B, C and D are broken!”

Uptime is the Bottom Line.

“Speed, cost or quality. Pick two.”

“It works, except in IE 6.”

“The project was on-time untileverything started breaking in

the middle of the night!”

Uptime is the Bottom Line.

We are bringing sanity

back.

• DynDNS.com– 12M users– 4M logged in last month– New code twice a week– Failure is not an option

• Web app testing is hard– Browsers,– OSes, and– “the tests stopped passing because

somebody moved the damn button!”

Uptime is the Bottom Line.
