| 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. |

Outsourced Service: SiteStress is a completely outsourced load testing service that requires no
software purchases or downloads. Our engineering team manages all
script development required for load testing set-up and execution. In
addition, Webmetrics allocates a dedicated web performance testing engineer to each
customer to deliver hands-on load testing expertise and analysis throughout
an engagement.
This analysis includes problem diagnosis, problem isolation and
recommendations for improvement. It is our goal to help each
customer meet their web performance testing objectives and we will provide the
information it takes to get there. |
| |
|
|
Infinitely Scalable Backbone: Independent,
global testing network powered by top tier infrastructure providers. |
| |
|
|
Engineering Performance Reports:
Webmetrics provides detailed web performance reports and load
testing analysis to
customers at the conclusion of each load test iteration. SiteStress
reports graph the following performance metrics:
- Page and transaction load times by interval
- Errors experienced by type and page
- Success/failure hits
|
| |
|
|
|
Executive Summary Report:
At the conclusion of a web performance test engagement, Webmetrics
provides a comprehensive
PDF report. The customer retains reproduction rights to this (and all)
reports. This report provides a bottom line analysis of your
site/applications performance in relations to defined objectives, and
provides specific details about the load testing methodology, business
goals, problem diagnosis and recommendations for improvement.
|
| |
|
|
Server Monitoring:
It is imperative that the servers be monitored during the duration
of a load test. Webmetrics' engineers will closely monitor the back-end server health using our
services, or obtain the back-end
system monitoring data from the customer in order to complete the
analysis.
|
| |
|
|
Benchmark Comparisons:
Webmetrics has executed thousands of web performance and load
tests. Our engineering staff has seen virtually every type of
hardware and software combination. Without violating any
confidentiality about any particular customer's results, our
engineering staff will compare your test results with customers of
similar infrastructures or applications when analyzing your load test results to ensure you get
the most out of your web infrastructure.
|
| |
|
|
|
Project Management:
Web performance testing can be very complicated. Webmetrics
ensures timeliness, accuracy and completeness by utilizing an
internal project management system designed specifically for load testing
engagements. To ensure all customer
requests and requirements are addressed for each load test execution,
all project-related tasks and communications between you and
Webmetrics are managed and archived via a centralized email
system.
