Rich Internet Performance Testing

Conference Plenary – a STeP-IN Theme Conference: Performance Testing (April 2008)
Amir Shoval - VP Product Management, RadView.

The growing use of RIA, specifically AJAX and Adobe Flex in mission critical applications increases the need to perform load and performance testing before deploying to production. In this seminar you will learn about the importance of performance testing and how a professional load testing tool like WebLOAD can be used to test the performance, scalability and reliability of Rich Internet Applications.

Testing web applications for performance is fundamentally different and complex than testing them for functional correctness. Various flavors of load generation tools are available to simulate the expected load levels on servers, network or web application to test their ability to sustain concurrent heavy load under realistic conditions. In order to carry out effective performance testing of web applications one has to ensure that sufficiently powerful hardware is used to generate required load levels. At the same time, one would prefer to avoid investing in unnecessarily expensive hardware “just to be sure”. Having an effective model for estimating the load generation capabilities of load generation tools on different hardware configurations can greatly help in taking care of both these requirements.

Performance Testing IS a Spectator Sport: Accelerate Testing Cycles with Collaborative Performance T

Testing and tuning the performance of enterprise Web applications is a complex task, undertaken by a team of individuals that may include performance engineers, QA testers, architects, developers, database administrators and related project team members. Fostering communication among these individuals can be challenging and can often lead to testing delays.
