Silk Performer-Over View

The Web Load Testing Tutorial is designed to ease you into the process of load testing with SilkPerformer, and to get you up and running as quickly as possible.It will help you take full advantage of SilkPerformer’s ease of use and to exploit the leading-edge functionality that’s embodied in e-business’s load-testing tool of choice.

 This describes load-testing of Web applications on the protocol level (HTTP/HTML).If you want to load-test applications that heavily rely on AJAX technologies we recommend using browser-driven Web load testing.Browser-driven Web load testing is a solution that uses real Web browsers (Internet Explorer) to generate load, thus leveraging the AJAX logic built into Web browsers to precisely simulate complex AJAX behavior during testing.

SilkPerformer is the industry’s most powerful—yet easiest to use—enterpriseclass load and stress testing tool. Visual script generation techniques and the ability to test multiple application environments with thousands of concurrent users allow you to thoroughly test your enterprise applications’ reliability,performance, and scalability before they’re deployed—regardless of their size and complexity. Powerful root cause analysis tools and management reports help you isolate problems and make quick decisions—thereby minimizing test cycles and accelerating your time to market.
Benefits: Ensure the scalability, performance, and reliability of your enterprise applications

SilkPerformer ensures the quality of your enterprise applications by measuring their performance from the end-user perspective, as well as internally, in a variety of workload scenarios and dynamic load conditions.

Test remote components early in the development cycle Dramatically reduce the cost of bugs in your multi-tier enterprise application by testing the functionality, interoperability, and performance of remote components early in the development cycle—even before client applications have been built. You can rapidly generate test drivers for Web services, .NET remoting objects, EJB’s and Java RMI objects by exploring them via a point & click interface. Alternately, you can reuse unit test drivers written by developers for concurrency tests or you can build new test cases directly in Java and other .NET languages, such as C# and VB.NET, using SilkPerformer’s Visual Studio .NET Add-In.

Pinpoint problems easily for quick resolution

SilkPerformer’s unrivaled TrueLogTM technology for HTML, XML, SQL, TCP/  IP, and UDP based protocol data provides full visual root-cause analysis from the end-user perspective. TrueLogs visually recreate the data that users provide and receive during load tests—for HTML pages this includes all embedded

objects—enabling you to visually analyze the behavior of your application as errors occur during load tests. In addition detailed response timer statistics help you uncover the root causes of missed Service Level Agreements before your application goes live.Reusing projects SilkPerformer’s extended workflow simplifies and deepens its integration with SilkCentral Test Manager.

By clicking SilkPerformer’s new Reuse Project button, test projects can be uploaded to and reused by Test Manager (for test automation).
