LoadTest - Features 

     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 a range of geographic locations across Europe and the U.S. that correspond to the distribution of your users.
   
• Stress-test specific pages or complete transactions that consist of multiple steps so you're simulating 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 its 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.
