Optimal performance is a key requirement for today’s mission critical business applications, which have become more and more complex as trends like Virtualization, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) become more prevalent.
However, many load testing products have failed to ensure that applications will meet their performance goals in time before deployment. A primary reason for this is that while load testing tools are a must have for identifying performance bottlenecks, they are incomplete solutions because they do not provide users with resolutions to performance problems they uncover. As a result time is wasted in what might be called a “blame game” between QA and system engineering about who is responsible to finally fix the issue, which leads to excessive cost overruns and missed release schedules.
Only a complete performance testing solution integrated with in depth diagnostics can really provide whatend-users are looking for: a way to quickly detect, isolate and resolve performance bottlenecks in distributed, heterogeneous application environments.
