STRESS TEST+

What is STRESS TEST+ ?

Stress testing an application or website is achieved using tools to artificially generate an increasing load until the application, system or supporting infrastructure under test fails or there is no increase in throughput.

Standard stress test methods rely on capacity management data to determine the performance bottleneck. Unfortunately this method is often inaccurate and subject to interpretation.

advance7 avoids the limitations of existing methods by combining industry standard load generation tools with our unique Performance-at-a-Glance technique. The combination produces a definitive guide to the bottlenecks in the end-to-end system (client, firewall, network, load-balancers, servers, etc.) or your website.

Alongside the Performance-at-a-Glance measurements, we also gather capacity management information, identify abnormalities in operation of the application or website and underlying infrastructure, comment on the efficiency of the program logic and identify opportunities to optimise the configuration.

Benefits

The STRESS TEST+ service answers some key questions, including:

What measures can be taken to maximise the return from your IT or eCommerce investment?
Where should money be spent to improve the capacity of the application, website or supporting infrastructure?
Will the application or website support the expected number of users, now and in the future?

The STRESS TEST+ service delivers the information you need to support your upgrade plans or plan the capacity of your website. This enables you to make better investment decisions with more confidence.
