NeoLoad

NeoLoad is a Web Application Stress Tool from Neotys that can simulate the server load imposed by thousands of simultaneous users upon any web site or web-based software.

Neoload claimas that a straightforward installation enables anyone to get a comprehensive web testing software up and running in minutes.

With the help of Neoload's user-friendly interface, users with no prior experience of web application stress tools can manage extensive web server stress tests.

Features include

-designing advanced web performance testing scenarios (data extraction, loops, conditions, response validation) has never been so easy : no scripting needed, no programming knowledge required.

-Neoload supports any type of web application including those using J2EE, .NET, AJAX, SOAP, PHP, ASP, CGI, Flash, applets, etc.

-NeoLoad provides optional web stress testing modules for additional server monitoring and SOAP support functions for an extra fee.

Proxy Sniffer

Perform professional load tests and obtain a wide range of informative diagrams and statistics about the response time behavior, the throughput, and the stability of your web application.

The provider is David Fischer GmbH

Features:

Universal HTTP/S Proxy-Recorder
The universal proxy-recorder supports to record web surfing sessions with any web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari ...). Also Ajax calls as well as XML/SOAP messages can be recorded.

High-Performance GUI
Recorded web surfing sessions can be functionally enhanced using the GUI with a few mouse clicks. Additional requirements, such as logons with individual user accounts, or the handling of dynamically-exchanged session parameters, can be efficiently implemented in a short time.

Unlimited Scalability - Simulating Thousands of Users
Depending on the test scenario, hundreds of web users can already be simulated by only one load-releasing computer. The scalable architecture of the product supports additionally an unlimited load generation with thousands of users by a simple combination of several Windows and/or Unix systems to a homogeneous, load-releasing cluster.

Realistic Test Scenarios
Several load tests can be run simultaneously. Multiple client IP addresses can be configured for each load-releasing system, allowing a web application cluster with a load balancer to be stressed in a realistic way. The network bandwidth for each simulated user can be reduced in order to simulate slow access connections.

Support for all Current Authentication Methods
Proxy Sniffer supports logging in to web applications with HTML form parameters as well as with HTTP basic authentication (username/password pop-up window), NTLM authentication (Windows domain accounts) and X509 client certificates (PKCS#12). Each simulated user can be allocated an individual login account.

Real Emulation of Web Surfing Sessions
Together with the automatic support of session cookies Proxy Sniffer offers also to handle dynamically exchanged session parameters efficiently: e.g. hidden form parameter, .NET VIEWSTATE parameter und J2EE URL rewriting parameter.

Automatic Protection from "false positive" Measurement Results
During a load test, Proxy Sniffer compares the content of the received response with the content of the originally recorded response using a unique heuristic algorithm. This powerful feature allows the detection of errors at the application level (malformed web pages) - even when a web page with a correct HTTP response code is returned. This protection against "false positive" measurement results is automatically provided in each load test.

Real-Time Statistics and Real-Time Error Analysis
During a load test, an overview of the measured response times for all web pages and their URLs is displayed in real-time, in addition to the display of the current activity of all simulated users and all errors which have occurred. Furthermore, all error details can be shown and analyzed in real-time during a running load test.

Detailed Measurement Results
After the end of every test, there are up to 18 different diagrams and statistics available. From these results, a complete formatted test report can be created as a PDF document. Results of different test runs can be compared to each other, allowing the efficacy of tuning measures to be evaluated, and to visualize the response time behavior of the web application under different load conditions.

Support for Windows and Unix-Like Operating Systems
Proxy Sniffer can be deployed on Windows XP/2003/Vista systems as well as on all Unix-like systems such as Solaris, Linux, BSD and Mac OS

Gomez Updates Reality Load XF

Gomez, Inc., a provider of web experience management services, today introduced an updated version of its self-service load testing solution, Reality Load XF. Part of the Gomez(R) ExperienceFirst(SM) platform, Reality Load XF combines traditional high volume web application load testing with broad geographic end-user experience testing, generating real-world, browser-driven traffic from a global network of over 40,000 locations. An on-demand, software-as-a-service solution, Reality Load XF addresses the performance challenges of today's composite and browser-based rich Internet technologies, such as Ajax, and extends beyond traditional load testing services to reveal the impact of load on the end-user's experience.

"Businesses today are challenged to deliver increasingly complex applications and struggle to use best practice approaches to load test across all application and infrastructure changes," said Gartner, Inc. analyst Thomas E. Murphy. "Solutions that are flexible and provide a more realistic and cost-effective analysis of the end-user's actual web experience will be a valuable addition to current approaches."

For quality assurance teams, Reality Load XF augments existing internal load testing with the end-user perspective, helping to determine system capacity and address end-user experience issues before launching or changing web applications, or investing in infrastructure upgrades or third party services such as content delivery networks. For IT operations, Reality Load XF helps to quickly identify weaknesses or break points in end-user experience under real-world load conditions prior to seasonal promotions, new product introductions, or entry into new markets. Most tests can be up and running after an hour and users can view the results live in near real-time.

"At EveryScape, delivering a quality online experience is a must in our market today," said Mok Oh, founder & CTO of EveryScape, Inc., which provides an interactive visual platform for local search by creating virtual experiences of metropolitan, suburban and rural areas. "Even in the current Internet age, risk is always introduced whenever we make changes to our product or infrastructure, or are in situations where increased traffic is expected. Being able to use Reality Load XF on-demand whenever we feel the need to assess the potential impact on our users' experiences has been a great confidence booster."

"Today's composite web applications are assembled in the end-user's browser. So many elements -- from browser, platform and device type, to third party content, connection speed and ISP -- can affect performance," said Imad Mouline, Gomez's chief technology officer. "Reality Load XF provides e-commerce, IT and quality assurance teams with confidence when deploying applications and infrastructure."
