Press Release: For Immediate Release
-- San Francisco, CA -- 18 June 2010.
Software Research Inc.,
maker of the widely used eValid browser based web application suite,
has announced a major breakthrough in Server Load Performance Testing
for AJAX-based web applications.
Using eValid's simultaneous launched test-enabled live web browsers,
eValid can generate server load up to 1,000 browser users per machine
and expand the scalability of load testing in the hundred of thousands,
using computer cloud resources in sustained tests for many hours
and at very low costs.
The web becomes more and more pervasive, and AJAX applications become more and more sophisticated, so having an application that "scales" well in terms of achieved user performance is a critically important issue. This means that the only way that online businesses or IT departments will experience web applications as theirs customers will experience them is to use performance monitoring tools that gather real-time data over the internet. Relying on results created by "virtual users" will indeed give you a "virtual reality", but can never report the real-world situation you need to know about to safeguard your web presence.
| "Because eValid is built in a browser, when it runs a test on an AJAX application it appears completely real to the application servers. Running large numbers of eValid instances -- we call them Browser Users (BUs) -- using compute-cloud resources gives you the Holy Grail of AJAX Performance Testing: Real Users. You get high loads and you don't have to spend a fortune to do it," said Edward Miller, President of Software Research and eValid's Chief Architect. |
100 eValid BUs Running Simultaneously on One Machine |
Recent technical advances and new machine image capabilities from the cloud-computing community, allow eValid to run sophisticated AJAX application tests with 1,000+ BU's per machine. Every BU is a separate eValid instance, so the test playbacks have extremely good accuracy and reality. Using ten machines in the cloud yields ~100,000+ BU's.
To help introduce these new eValid capabilities we are making a special short-term offer of Across-The-Board Discounts on both our PerformanceTest Services and on Server Loading Bundle licenses.
An upcoming Webinar "Cloud-Based AJAX Performance Testing", scheduled for Wednesday, 23 June 2010, will show how an eValid user can record tests from life, make a few key script modifications to assure that they are LoadTest safe, lift them in 100-wide scenario partitions, and then run the 100-wide partitions on multiple very-large cloud-computers, collect data as the imposed server load ramps up, and display scenario-wide end-user perspective performance results.
