Web Application Testing

WAPT is a load and stress testing tool that provides you with an easy-to-use and cost-effective way to test any web site: from a privately used business application to a distributed web portal consisting of load balancers, web servers, application servers, database storages, etc.

With WAPT you can create load tests within minutes. A few clicks are required to make thousands virtual users execute multiple concurrent sessions against your web site. A set of special features will let you make your tests data-driven to handle web sites with dynamic content, work with secure HTTPS pages and all types of authentication. You can test and analyze the performance characteristics of your system under various load conditions. Using the information provided by WAPT through descriptive graphs and reports you can easily isolate and fix bottlenecks in your software and hardware configuration.

Why load testing is so important? Your web application may have successfully passed all functional tests. At that stage one of two applications appears to fail operating correctly even under its regular planned load conditions. In many cases just a hundred active users can be a critical volume. How about a peak load appearing when your web site becomes the crucial component of your business?

Fortunately WAPT can check the reliability and productivity of your web site before you go to production. It will answer questions like:

• What response time your users will get when working with the site?
• For how long it can stand the increased user activity?
• How frequently users will see errors and need to reconnect?
• Can it get back to normal operation after being stressed with abnormal load?

For advanced users we offer the Pro version of our product. In addition to the regular WAPT features it provides integration capabilities, distributed cloud-ready testing solution and online server monitoring.

WAPT is designed for Microsoft XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win7. It is competitively priced and does not require expensive hardware to run. If you have been looking for an easy to use yet powerful web load testing solution, look no further. Download the 30-day trial version and see for yourself.

Server Performance Monitoring



WAPT Pro can measure various parameters of the web server performance during the test. This way you can see how your web application responds to the increasing load in terms of CPU, RAM or network usage. You can also measure various parameters of the database performance, which is essential for web applications that use databases. The obtained data is included in the test results along with other parameters.

This feature is especially useful to determine bottlenecks in the server performance. For example, you notice that a peak in the server response time coincides with a 100% peak in the RAM utilization on the server. This means that you can improve the performance of the web application by adding more RAM, because that resource is insufficient in the current configuration when the load is peaking. Same idea can be applied to CPU or HDD utilization as well as to any other limited system resource.

WAPT Pro can use either WMI or SNMP protocol to get the mentioned performance counters data from the web server. Database performance parameters are obtained directly from the database by sending corresponding SQL requests through the ODBC interface. Requests for basic MS SQL and Oracle counters are predefined in the product. You can also add your own specific requests for any additional performance data available in your database through ODBC.
