Long enough. New enough. Reliable inline citations throughout. The hook is interesting, and sourced. QPQ done. It's generally well written for what could be an esoteric topic for many. (I copyedited a bit for clarity but please double-check.) I think the sentence on shadow testing needs to be more clear. I don't exactly follow "...recorded performance on an older version of code is tested on newer versions of the code to compare the performances in order to analyze anticipated server performance." My limited understanding of shadow testing is that you test the newer app (or environment, etc.) and compare the results against the current results (or a prior result). Fix that, and we should be GTG. Hybernator (talk) 00:53, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hybernator: I've reworded the part about shadow testing to hopefully make it more clear, and added a ref that further explains what it is. - Aoidh (talk) 02:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. It's more clear now. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 03:59, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Any story behind the name? Brutannica (talk) 14:21, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was unable to find any sources that discussed the reasoning for the name, but it seems to be that it was named Vegeta because of the program's emphasis on attacking, which fits concepts around the character Vegeta attacking, like the Dragonball Z episode Vegeta Attacks (fandom link). But that's just my understanding of the name, it would be WP:OR for me to include anything about that in the article itself because I cannot find any sources that substantiate that idea. - Aoidh (talk) 15:02, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
