summary

The talk explains why standard statistical metrics (means, medians) are misleading for performance testing of applications and argues that average response time is meaningless. It demonstrates techniques to address this—showing how to avoid deceptive aggregate metrics—and proposes a practical alternative statistical approach validated in real use.
