Custom Google Perf Test Search Engine

Excerpt: "Are you tired of all the results for tuning sports cars, training for a marathon and measuring employee productivity when searching for material related to software performance testing? We were. That is why PerfTestPlus customized our own Google search engine. We found it so useful that we decided to make it available for you to use as well. We hope it makes your searching more productive."

Comments: Scott Barber is an independent contractor/owner of PerfTestPlus, Inc. He is a frequent speaker at conferences and has many years of performance test experience. I encourage you to also check out his blog on TestingReflections.com.
