LoadTest - Features 

LoadTest - Features 

The list below shows the most important features for Apica LoadTest. Contact our sales department if you have more questions or want to schedule a web demo.

     Minimum system impact

  • Software as a Service- Load tests are performed from the outside and no software installation is needed. 
     
  • Load tests are performed during off-peak hours and web site behaviour close to the capacity limit is closely monitored so that potential crashes are avoided.

     True representation of your business and users

  • Run load tests from geographical locations, in Europe or the US, that corresponds to the distribution of your users.
     
  • Stress test specific pages or complete transactions consisting of many steps which simulate typical user paths and tasks on your site.
     
  • Support for dynamic content such as search strings, user IDs and URLs.

     Analysis for web performance improvement

  • Analyze load test results for different ISPs and regions and use as input in discussions with your ISPs and DNS service providers.
     
  • Load test results are subdivided into the performance of pages, URLs and components of the application, which facilitates the identification of bottlenecks.
     
  • In addition to knowing your capacity limit, results include a detailed “load curve” which shows the performance ( web site response time) as the load approaches it’s maximum limit.

     Integrated tools in the Apica WebExcellence suite

  • Monitor your load test scenarios in production with Apica WebPerformance. Apica Loadtest is integrated with Apica WebPerformance, and you’ll be able to use the same test scripts in both applications.

 Technical specification

Apica LoadTest uses a diligently defined and controlled environment for its load tests, consisting of different test centers with normalized load servers and a close supervision of environment and servers. Apica has access to more than 40 different servers in the Nordic countries and Europe and can generate a total load Loadtest of over 10,000 concurrent users per minute, which equals 600,000 page views per hour, to a website/day.
