We are currently using TestComplete for our enterprise desktop solution. Do you have any recommendations on how we can incorporate performance and load testing? I understand the basic concepts for applying performance and load to web applications... but would like some suggections for getting started on a desktop app, Thanks!

I think this really depends on what you are wanting to accomplish with your performance and load testing. SmartBear offers a UI load testing tool (LoadComplete). This is a great tool for performance and load testing on the front end. LoadUI in the ReadyAPI suite can be used to perform load testing on the API services on the back end. My team works with our infrastructure team to run API load test in conjunction with Dynatrace. This gives us a great picture of how performant our API services are and if the hardware supporting it can handle the requests. You can use TestComplete to set up tests that will check on the response time on the UI and either give a warning or fail depending on the amount of time it takes to respond. For a full picture of how performant an application is I believe you need to do backend and front end performance/load testing. This provides better overall coverage and context. If API services and hardware are not optimized and performant then your front end will not perform well. If they are but your front end is not performant you have UI issues.
