In the past I’ve written about and asked the question - “Does your software test lab have a champion?“.

Whew. That took longer than I thought. Todd Hoff over at the High Scalability blog has an email interview with me about a book that I wrote, called “The Art of Capacity Planning: Scaling Web Resources“.
