Response times are too damn high memeImage macros – those pictures superimposed with vaguely humorus text – are everywhere on the Internet. I decided that it was time for someone to create some that performance testers could relate to; something we could all print out and pin to our cubicle walls.

To get everything started, I have created 8 images. Maybe they will become successful memes and help spread performance testing culture across the world…or maybe they will just generate a chuckle or two.

If you create your own performance testing-related image macro, please leave a comment (with a link), or send me an email. I will collect them all on this page.

    @cjdelorenzo, I modified your “This is Sparta/Performance Testing!” meme slightly…

    I face-palmed when someone from NAB spoke at a conference and said that the nab.com.au website team was doing *all* their load testing using Bees with Machine Guns (Apache Bench)…but it inspired this:
