Owing to the considerable increase in the business sector and thus, an enormous increase in the complexity of the organisational struc
Have we ever thought how big websites could be configured to handle massive amount of traffic? How thousands of businesses worldwide are facing challenges everyday to make sure there are no connection failures due to heavy load or congestion of traffic at the website. The answer is straight, every organization will have to monitor and baseline amount of traffic by going for stress test to find out if the current hardware could be supportive enough to handle a specific amount of load. One such great software is the Web Application Testing or WAPT, which is a great utility for any websites sustainability. This software is load, stress and performance testing tool for web sites and intranet applications with web interface. WAPT is designed for MS Windows 2000/XP/2003 and Windows 98/Me operating systems. The question that should be asked is why should we consider WAPT or why should the organization consider Load or stress testing? We certainly believe, major performance issues would arise if stress test has not been performed. This could very well mean that after the server reaches a certain level of concurrent connection made by visitors, it would consume its hardware resources to process every visitors request. If there is a lot to process, the server might give priority to web application than its local resource ending up in a system crash. Thus, the goal of WAPT is very simple; it helps the organizations web servers to become active at every stage of stress, whether its a web development or website traffic processing power. WAPT can perform a stress test by simulating several thousands of concurrent connections to check the web server/website performance and if it finds any bottlenecks it would warn and suggest fixing this issue by recommending the very next thing. There are lots of new features added in WAPT 4.0 - You can use multiple virtual profiles to test a single scenario - There is support for IP spoofing where each virtual user can run with individual and unique IP address - Each Virtual can be configured with different username and password and is compatible with Windows Integrated Authentication or Basic Configuration. - You can see and configure the type of reports even a test run summary report is generated - There is command line interface available - There is a support for persistent cookies - All the test scenario and profiles are stored in XML format The Main features of WAPT 4.0 - You can have the application run and understand multiple languages - There is cool recording feature which you can use to record any configuration and stress test simulations for later review or demonstrations as it supports playback of HTTPS/SSL 2.0 & 3.0 pages. You can also record the user connection speed using the keep-alive connections to a HTTP 1.0 or HTTP 1.1 pages or even HTTPS/SSL pages. - You can generate data for run-times on specific scheduled intervals by randomizing the delay between the page hits. - It also has a support for proxy servers for HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 & 5 and supports cookies as well. - All the authentication request can be handled using NTLM (windows Integrated Authentication) or using the basic authentication. - If you would like to call the website by a different name, then you also have the facility to add custom host headers - All this the scenarios can be configured using the user friendly Wizard - You can choose the reports to be either graphical or in plain text along with full virtual server logs A must tool for administrator or other user who would to maintain their website efficiently.
