A bonus get from QA who helps us test website Performance

I always borrow our QA team to help us validate performance on staging env when they do release testing as a bonus, here is an example email I sent to the group:

Hi, All QA friends,
Once you find slowness on your side(for example 60 seconds to login, …), please do so :

1. Can you reproduce it? Or just randomly replicate?
2. Username/password/account
3. Which server are you touching? (you need some sniffer tools to determine this if there is a cluster on back-end)
4. Time stamp you encounter the problem(PST time preferred/Beijing time zone is also OK)
5. What steps you are following? (replicate steps if have)

Of course we need to set up some monitoring/profiling tools behind or run ping -t IP to guarantee Network is OK during testing phase.
