NeoSpire provides load testing services so that customers can help determine how well online applications will scale under the stress of user demand. Whether rolling out new applications, new features to existing applications or launching a marketing campaign designed to drive Web site traffic, NeoSpire's load testing services provide confidence that web sites and applications are ready for deployment.
NeoSpire utilizes a clustered farm of servers running proprietary load testing software to simulate user load on customer systems. The goal of the load test is to determine where potential problems exist by examining both hardware and software performance during high simulated user volume.
NeoSpire's simulated load testing service is made up of the following four primary components:
- Defining & Writing the Load Testing Script
NeoSpire will work with the customer to determine what user paths will be simulated during the load testing engagement. Once the user paths have been determined and approved by the customer, NeoSpire will begin writing the scripts.
- Testing of the Load Testing Script
NeoSpire will run the script through a number of internal tests before actually performing the load test.
- Load Testing & Performance Data Collection
Once the script has been properly tested and revised if necessary, NeoSpire will work closely with the customer to perform the actual load test. The load testing script will be run as many times as necessary to determine at what point the customer's hosted system experiences performance degradation/outage due to too much load. Throughout the load testing process, NeoSpire will collect data that is obtained as it relates to hardware and software performance.
- Analysis & Reporting
Upon completion, NeoSpire will produce a detailed report, which will provide specific, granular information on problem areas, as well as recommendations on how to improve upon the problem areas.
- Ensure customer web sites/applications and hosting systems can perform under heavy traffic conditions
- Reduce your cost. NeoSpire provides the technical tools and the expertise. Customers are not required to buy hardware and software, or train people to use it.
- NeoSpire maintains an expertly defined process and experienced interpretation of results.
- Simulate peak "real world" load.
- Improve your capacity planning process.
- Pinpoint application tuning opportunites and/or performance bottlenecks.
