Load Testing & Web Performance Testing
Web performance testing and load testing are managed via SiteStress, a consultative service that simulates end-user activity against designated websites, challenging both web performance capacities and infrastructure reliability. SiteStress is a managed service that couples proprietary web performance and load testing technology with hands-on engineering expertise to provide an easy-to-use, cost-effective load & web performance testing solution.
Key Features
- Simulated Traffic: SiteStress can generate hundreds or thousands of virtual users that interact with websites to assess how much load applications can handle, web performance rates at various loads and application breaking points.
- Transactional Simulations: Typically anywhere from one to five different user behaviors are executed at the same time, precisely mimicking real end-user behavior. Each transaction might simulate a different piece of functionality on the site (i.e., login, checkout, order status, etc.).
- Consultative Service: Outsourced (Hosted/Managed) web performance and load testing service executed from Webmetrics' distributed load testing network with servers across North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Europe.
- Expertise: A dedicated test engineer is allocated to each load test customer to provide web performance analysis, diagnosis and recommendations for optimizing the performance of websites, applications and systems.
- Performance Reports: Detailed HTML/Flash reports are generated after each web performance test iteration, which includes detailed performance analysis by Webmetrics' load testing experts.
- Flexible Schedule: Web performance testing engagements usually consist of three executions and can be as short as a few days or as long as a year, but typically take place within a 30-day window.
