What Matters More in a Test: When Your App Fails, or Why?


Provide Code-Level Diagnostics
Development doesn't get the diagnostic reports they need – 25% of performance issues are “not reproducible” and the rest average 6 days to resolve, slowing development with additional test cycles

Automate Problem Reporting
Reporting is a manual, error-prone process: documenting each defect takes hours

Test Better, Earlier
With development delays and time-to-market pressure, many aspects of an application can’t be tested before release

Go Beyond Load Testing

Load testing tools uncover application performance issues under load and provide classic system monitoring to diagnose performance bottlenecks in the underlying infrastructure. However, they generally treat applications as a black-box. Consequently, load testing tools do not deliver the information developers need to quickly diagnose and resolve the performance issue in the application’s code.

As a result, load test teams face:

The need to deliver diagnostic reports that not only pinpoint faulty components, but also reveal root cause

Having not created the applications they are testing and lacking proper diagnostics tools to visualize the application’s dynamic behavior from high-level to granular code-level under load, performance test teams have a hard time precisely pinpointing the application components causing a performance bottleneck or stability issue.

Learn how to deliver detailed code-level diagnostic reports that actually show the root cause of application performance issues.

The demand to load test more applications in less and less time

The problem of not having the right data for fixing an application issue results in expensive test re-runs with additional log-options to drill into certain problem areas or having the developers occupying test hardware to debug through problems. This means that the test team is delayed from continuing with other tests.

Learn how to increase load test throughput to test more applications in less time.

Performance problems surfacing in production

As load testing tools treat applications essentially as a black-box, they cannot detect performance issues that do not yet surface on an end-user-visible level in the test environment.

Learn how to increase test coverage to identify hidden code-level performance issues.

The need to integrate with load testing tools and frameworks

Automation is key for achieving high test coverage and throughput – otherwise important aspects of an application or entire applications stay untested or release dates need to be pushed out.
