Silk Performer is the industry's most powerful and easiest to use enterprise-class load and stress testing tool. Visual script generation
techniques and the ability to test multiple application environments with thousands of concurrent virtual users allow you
to thoroughly test your enterprise applications' reliability, performance, and scalability before they are deployed-regardless
of their size and complexity. Powerful root-cause analysis tools and management reports help you isolate problems and make
quick decisions, thereby minimizing test cycles and accelerating your time to market.
Following are some of the key advantages that
Silk Performer provides:
-
Ensure the scalability, performance, and reliability of your enterprise applications.
Silk Performer ensures the quality of your enterprise applications by measuring their performance from the end-user perspective, as well
as internally, in a variety of workload scenarios and dynamic load conditions.
-
Test remote components early in the development cycle. Dramatically reduce the cost of defects in your multi-tier enterprise application by testing the functionality, interoperability,
and performance of remote components early in the development cycle, even before client applications have been built. You
can rapidly generate test drivers for Web services, .NET remoting objects, EJBs and Java RMI objects by exploring them via
a point and click interface. Alternatively, you can reuse unit test drivers written by developers for concurrency tests or
you can build new testcases directly in Java and .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET using the
Silk Performer Visual Studio .NET Add-On.
-
Pinpoint problems easily for quick resolution. Unrivaled TrueLogTM technology for HTML, XML, SQL, Oracle Forms, Citrix, TCP/IP, and UDP-based protocol data provides full visual root-cause
analysis from the end-user perspective. TrueLogs visually recreate the data that users input and receive during load tests.
For HTML pages, this includes all embedded objects. This enables you to visually analyze the behavior of your application
as errors occur during tests. In addition, detailed response timer statistics help you uncover the root causes of missed service
level agreements before your application goes live.
