Load Tester™ New Features
New in 4.1 Release
The 4.0 version of Load Tester was our best yet, and we've just added exciting new features in the 4.1 release. Now you can not only generate loads from both inside the network and outside the network using the cloud, but now you can select from four Amazon cloud locations worldwide for more realistic testing. We've also added a Bandwidth Wizard that automates testing your real Web bandwidth capacity, so now it's easy to verify whether or not bandwidth is the cause of performance problems. Newly reorganized reports now include an executive summary for clearer results interpretation, and server metrics are now analyzed by user level.
Load Tester™ is Enterprise Class software that has been under development for ten years, and has a huge number of features. If you want to find out if its right for your situation just contact us.
Amazon cloud-based Load Engines
In version 4.0 we added the ability to test your website from outside your network, giving you the infrastructure required to generate up to 100,000 concurrent users in the cloud. Now in version 4.1 we've expanded the offering, so now you can choose to generate the load from the East Coast, the West Coast or Europe. The new auto-shutdown feature ensures that you won't be billed for cloud usage after tests are completed.
Bandwidth Wizard
Completely new in Load Tester 4.1, the Bandwidth Wizard automates testing of your actual web bandwidth capacity. The new measurement "web bandwidth" takes into account not your raw bandwidth, but the actual bandwidth available to web traffic so you can compare the capacity into terms of users, not low level packets. Now it's easy to verify your bandwidth capacity and rule it out as a performance bottleneck.
Better Reporting
After extensive usability testing, we redesigned our reports to
make it easier than ever to find out how many users your website
can handle. An all-new executive summary provides a clear and concise
overview of your testing results. Server metrics are now analyzed
by user level, and clarified metrics make analysis easy.
Reports are now exported in the background for a faster, more seamless user experience, and independent testing consultants can add their logo for a customized, branded report.
Integrated Desktop Sharing
Also new in Load Tester 4.1 is desktop sharing integrated into the product. At the touch of a button, you can get expert-level support from a Web Performance testing engineer, with quicker results since you will literally be on the same page!
Configurable Hosting Resolution
Configurable hosting resolution now handles multiple IP addresses per hostname and eliminates DNS resolution problems that can arise from changes in hostname or IP addresses during testing.
