Crowdsourced Testing Leader Offers Unique Load Testing Options via Its Global Community of Professional Testers
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 24, 2010) - uTest, the world's largest software testing marketplace, today
announced the launch of its load testing services, offering unique alternatives including
live load, simulated load and hybrid load testing. These services help
uTest customers ensure their web applications are optimized for peak
performance under heavy, real-world loads.
Through its global community of 23,000 professional testers from 163
countries, uTest now makes load testing more accessible and cost-effective.
Load testing services include:
Live Load: A team
of live testers from around the globe can test an application
simultaneously, enabling customers to see how their web app performs under
truly real-world usage conditions
Simulated
Load: Requiring no live testers, simulated load testing provides
customers with a complete analysis of a web app's performance under peak
synthetic load
Hybrid Load:
Combining live testers with simulated load tools, uTest's hybrid load
testing enables customers to perform functional testing while their web
application is under heavy synthetic load
With 24x7 access to testers' bug reports, load testing results and other
metrics, customers can monitor and measure an application's performance in
real time and under real-world conditions. Each customer is assigned a
dedicated uTest project manager to assist them in all their testing
initiatives. And because uTest is an on-demand service, customers pay only
for the test cycles they need, which dramatically reduces their total cost
of testing.
"Live load testing enables us to learn how real users impact the
performance of our web application," said Marc Isikoff, Technical Manager
at Watchitoo. "More importantly, it
helps us identify which areas need to be addressed before we bring a new
version to market. Live load testing has been critical to the maturation of
our app."
"As our customers have grown in maturity and technical sophistication, so
too have their requests for load and performance testing services," said
Doron Reuveni, uTest CEO. "Unlike traditional load testing tools that have
proven prohibitively expensive and require specialized skills, uTest's load
testing services leverage its community of professional testers to provide
fast, cost-effective load testing."
