Even large commercial enterprises, like Twitter, the Apple Store, Paypal, AT&T and Amazon.com
have been brought down during an important launch or other operation due to an unexpected escalation of website traffic.
When this happens, resulting revenue losses will far exceed cost of website load testing. For example, during a recently server failure, Amazon lost an estimated $50,000 per minute !
Losing money is frustrating enough on its own, but when it happens after you’ve already spent significant resources on your site design, marketing and other elements of a successful website, the frustration is amplified.
CloudNetCare can help ensures that you can reap all the benefits of your hard work and expenses. Here's how:
Instant access. No registration required, no obligation.
Simple but powerful tool
Reliable and powerful, CloudNetCare is also extremely easy to use. Guided through a
simple four-step process, it takes just minutes to
set the parameters and run your heavy traffic tests. No installation is required.
Versatility
To conduct a test, first create a navigation scenario on your site, which will be reproduced by virtual users during the test. As a
flexible serivice, CloudNetCare offers you two types of scenario:
Simple scenario
With this type of scenario, simply copy and paste the URLs that you want
the virtual users to browse during the test.
Selenium IDE Script
CloudNetCare manages the importing of Selenium IDEscripts. SeleniumIDE is a plug-in
for Mozilla Firefox that allows you to record every step of your navigation while
you surf a site and automatically reproduces all of your actions. A little
more complex than the simple scenario, it allows
for more complex interactions, such as filling in forms and clicking on elements.
Instant access. No registration required, no obligation.
Highly customizable tests
Users’ geographical zone
For reliable tests in “real conditions”, it is important that the virtual users
employed during the test come from the same geographical zone as your real users.
With CloudNetCare you can designate the geographical origin of your virtual
users.
Time lapse between steps in your browsing scenarios
If your site is a blog that includes long articles, your visitors
will likely stay on each page for several minutes. However, if your site sells products
online, your visitors will probably switch from page to page much more
quickly. To obtain more reliable tests with virtual users that mimic the
tendencies of your real visitors, you can use CloudNetCare to specify the waiting
periods between two steps in your browsing scenarios.
Patterns in traffic increases
Choose the pattern of the traffic increase that you wish, from a very sudden
to a more gradual increase.
Collect valuable information about your site
Scenario analysis
Once you have created your browsing scenario, even before testing you can discover
a lot of interesting information on the pages of your site: weight, detail of HTTP
requests, domains to which your site makes calls, screenshots and more...
Test results
The traffic load tests that you make with CloudNetCare give you all the information
you need to identify the weak points of your site when a traffic increase occurs:
response time, bandwidth, error rate, requests per second, etc...
And many more features and benefits!
HTTPS support
Use HTTPS protocol support to test the secure pages of your site.
Compare several tests
With CloudNetCare’s test comparison feature, you can analyze changes to your web applications’
tolerance to increases in traffic as you optimize them.
Export and share results
Once your test is complete, you can export the results in .CSV format or share them
with other members of your team via a permanent link.
