Before certifying the application performance,
are you satisfied with your own performance? are you sure that you are conducting effective performance test? Have you ever thought how to ensure the your performance test strategy and are you sure that your performance test report is bug free?
The following tips would help you to get more maturity and to do your job better
Yes..You need to be comfortable in the terminologies used in the performance engineering field and need to learn one or two popular and effective performance test tools and develop bottleneck analysis skills. That's the basic skills required for being a performance tester. Then you are matured enough to look back at your performance and look for how effective you are in your activities.
That's where, you need to start looking at Analytical modeling and simulation modeling approaches to move to your next level of expertise.
Foremost thing is that, understand the operational laws and start applying those laws in your day to day test activities.
Secondly start learning about Workload Modeling concepts and Statistical distribution fitting and apply those learning's to define performance testing goals/SLAs.
Thirdly start learning about Demand planning and Performance prediction techniques. Learn Mean value analysis and Erlang's method.
Fourth step is start learning about Capacity Planning.
This is the second level of maturity you need to gain. The next advanced third level is moving towards simulation modeling and advanced capacity planning.
Hope this helps to set your career path and plan to work towards it.
