Software Test Engineering / Load and Performance Testing

Today, both pre-packaged and custom systems are implemented within complex architectures that often utilize both client/server and web platforms. These applications often come with the promise of increasing system flexibility, productivity, and efficiency. As your company continues to develop, integrate, and utilize new technologies and architectures, VIP can help you discover application, interoperability, and performance problems caused by the load.

VIP helps to minimize your deployment risk by:

• Emulating user load conditions, analyzing performance problems, and isolating application issues.
• Performing stress testing of all architectural components to identify design issues.
• Pinpointing network bottlenecks caused by a heavy load.
• Diagnosing major database design issues.
• Replicating and resolving production problems.
• Collecting end-to-end response time metrics to help expose problem transactions.
• Evaluating how system response times change as the load increases.
• Performing capacity planning, hardware comparisons, and software configurations.
• Helping take corrective actions in a timely manner.
