The document discusses typical challenges with performance testing such as application defects causing downtime, lack of test automation leading to missed opportunities, and labor intensive script development. It then presents HPE performance testing solutions like Performance Center and LoadRunner that claim to reduce testing time by 45% and downtime by 50% based on IDC studies and customer experiences. Case studies from companies like Brewin Dolphin, John Lewis, and BSkyB are provided as proof points of reduced testing time and increased capacity.
