AlertSite Debuts New Web Site Load Testing Solution

AlertSite is a provider of Web performance management solutions that ensure a customer's services and applications are always available and running at peak performance.
 
“Nobody should deploy a Web site without first knowing whether it can do the job expected of it,” said Ken Gross, president and CEO at AlertSite, in a statement. “Every day Web sites are launched or upgraded without any load testing whatsoever, or with legacy load testing approaches that don't simulate an authentic user load. That's a prescription for disaster. AlertSite's On-Demand Load Testing will help identify scalability issues, bolster the infrastructure, and ultimately keep the site from crashing so visitors are never disappointed.”
 
The optimal performance of the system can also be ensured with the solution and the On-Demand Load Testing puts the insight and risk mitigation of load testing within the reach of any knowledge worker, IT professional, or business executive. On-Demand Load Testing harnesses the power of AlertSite's DejaClick technology to simplify the typically difficult and time consuming test, design, and setup process.
 
It is a software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) app, so users can log in from anywhere without having the prior knowledge of any scripting language nor do they need to buy special servers, deploy special software, or hire a bevy of consultants.
 
On-Demand Load Testing along with DejaClick allows customers to build, deploy and review the results of their load tests quickly and easily. AlertSite's global On-Demand Load Test platform is capable of simulating the web traffic of several concurrent users. Load tests are fed into this platform and results are then generated instantly into an on-demand report that provides a full breakdown of Web site performance at a given user load over a specified time frame.
 
And because it's SaaS, AlertSite's On-Demand Load Testing lets customers test specified URLs at any time, on a pay-as-you-go basis. They can specify the number of simultaneous Web site users to simulate for any given test, determine times of day when testing should be automatically performed, and create and reuse scripts as often as they like.
