Summary
You learned that you can measure performance quantitatively and qualitatively. Although it is easier to have quantitative measurement than qualitative measurement, it is quite straightforward and common to have quantified data as a foundation to have qualitative analysis.
With the help of .NET tooling ecosystem and libraries available at our disposal, we can ensure the objectiveness of our performance measurement. It is also recommended to have a basic understanding of .NET CLR memory management as our foundation to have performance measurement from the perspective of qualitative analysis.
We will start exploring the aspects of performance optimizations with the knowledge and concept in this chapter, starting from F# data structures in Chapter 3, Optimizing Data Structures.
