FOUR THINGS WE’RE GREAT AT

Automated testing

Always be ‘ready to release’ great software with our Continuous Delivery load testing solution. Opt for quick installation with our CI plug-ins or full control with our API and SDKs.

API testing

Exercise the set of calls documented in your API exactly as your users would. Ensure that resources exposed by the API can be created, listed, updated and deleted appropriately under expected load.

Mobile testing

Quickly create a load test which simulates different mobile network conditions - such as 3G, 4G, Edge, etc - and easily record mobile user scenarios using our hosted proxy recorder.

Web & web app testing

Easily load test your website or web app. Record user scenarios using our Chrome extension or proxy recorder and configure a test with just a few clicks.

WHEN TO LOAD TEST

Don't just build right, build the RIGHT things

Early and continuous feedback on performance provides agility and

adaptability to business strategy as well as resulting software

Early and Continuously

(

Website launch Marketing campaign Seasonal traffic spike New feature release

“Reality check” of enterprise tools QA and incident management Verification of new optimization solution

(7)

WHY AUTOMATE LOAD TESTING

Stop wasting time on code tracks that don’t meet performance criteria.

Automate your load tests and enjoy higher-quality, lower-risk releases.

(

Minimize lead time and human error by

automating routine tasks like load testing

(

Evaluate assumptions prior to release by

performance testing systems under realistic load

(

Don’t do things the hard way. Build team

confidence in the stability of every release

CASE STUDY - AKQA

Situation

•

Global interactive marketing agency known for creating engagement and experience vs. bombarding web audiences with endless messages

•

Retained to develop new product launch site for large Japanese camera maker, destination site for worldwide premium clothing brand, and new site for Irish singer/activist Bono’s AIDS charity

•

Assignments came with specific, different, but equally aggressive performance goals

Objectives

•

Insure camera site could handle millions of simultaneous users from around the world within hours of new product launch

•

Identify potential performance problems and bottlenecks for clothing manufacturer’s staging environment built to same spec as production environment

•

Make data-based recommendations for infrastructure upgrades to handle June and December traffic peaks for AIDS charity’s website

Strategy

•

Polled industry colleagues for load testing service recommendations to replace Apache JMeter server performance testing tool

•

Chose Load Impact for ease of setup and use, geographically dispersed testing ability, low cost, and transparent reporting functionality

•

Conduct on-going tests – in some cases daily tests – of three websites during development

Results

•

Found and fixed failing script for camera-maker site; maintained optimal performance at traffic goal +25%

•

Identified source of clothing manufacturer site’s horrific performance; enabled CDN and cashing to achieve performance targets
