Why Test?
Why Test?
Performance characteristics of your Web sites and Intranet applications directly affect the
quality of service and staff productivity. To ensure sufficient Web application performance you
must test your Web system under load before going live.
Load testing is the measure of entire Web application's ability to serve a number of
simultaneous users and/or transactions while maintaining adequate response times. Load testing
is the only way to accurately test the end-to-end performance of a Web site prior to going live.
Application load testing enables developers to find and eliminate bottlenecks in Web
infrastructure.
Why automated load testing?
Two common methods of load testing are manual and
automated testing. Manual load testing is very challenging, time and money consuming way: you
should instruct a lot of real users, coordinate users during a test. And only imagine how you could
repeat tests in a consistent way?
Because load testing is iterative in nature, testers must identify performance problems, tune the
system and retest to ensure that tuning has had a positive impact — countless times. For this reason,
manual testing is not a very practical option.
Today, automated load testing is the preferred choice for load testing a Web application.
By taking a disciplined approach to load testing, businesses can optimize resources, as well
as better predict hardware and software requirements, and set performance expectations to
meet the end-user service level agreements (SLAs).
With WAPT Pro tests can be easily rerun and results
automatically measured. In this way, WAPT Pro provides more cost-effective and
efficient
solution than its manual counterparts. Plus, they minimize the risk of human error
during the testing.
Using WAPT Pro you can:
Replace manual testers with automated virtual users.
Simultaneously run many virtual users on a single load-generating machine.
Automatically measure transaction response times.
Easily repeat load scenarios to validate design
and performance changes.
This allows you saving time and costly resources
when performing the load testing.
