Ensure uptime of mission-critical Web applications

Load testing helps you ensure uptime of your mission-critical systems by identifying bottlenecks in your applications and IT infrastructure under load and stress conditions before you turn away users and revenue.

Avoid project failures by predicting site behavior and capacity prior to going live

Avoid risking your credibility and wasting time, money and resources deploying applications that won't scale. Conduct load tests early and often so that you can launch your new site with confidence.

Measure and monitor performance of your e-business infrastructure

Load testing allows you to measure how well your site is meeting customer expectations. Establish service level agreements (SLAs) based on your site's actual performance.

Protect IT investments by predicting scalability and performance

Avoid wasting money purchasing software, hardware and bandwith you may not need. Load testing helps you do effective capacity planning so that you can make IT purchase decisions based on hard metrics that accurately characterize your current and future infrastructure needs.

Most problems have to do with the performance bottlenecks that arise when multiple users need to access a common resource. For example, if your site depends on a single, common database, then the speed of data access could become an issue if your database queries are not efficient. Incorrect use of multithreading in web applications can be another problem. Excessive disk access or memory leaks may also cause problems.

By identifying these problems early on, web developers, designers, testers and administrators can optimize applications, upgrade hardware, or employ caching strategies to get orders-of-magnitude performance improvements.
