Software Load, Stress and Performance Testing with SilkPerformer
 
Application performance failures can result in lost revenue, productivity, competitive edge or worse. Performance Engineering teams require the means to reliably and realistically simulate, or load test, tens to hundreds-of-thousands of users on IT Applications to assure the systems will not fail under load. However, free or “light-weight” load testing tools don’t support a broad, composite mix of applications, and popular commercial load testing tools are cost prohibitive because they are sold in a manner that restricts how, when and for what systems they may be used. Borland’s proven, powerful and easy-to-use SilkPerformer® provides a cost-effective, enterprise-class load testing solution by delivering automated software load, stress and performance testing in an open and sharable model.
 
SilkPerformer enables the creation of powerful, realistic load tests of thousands of users running business scenarios across a broad range of popular enterprise application environments. Its visual approach to test creation and its root-cause analysis wizards make it amazingly simple and efficient to use. Based only on a pool of shared "Virtual Users," SilkPerformer removes the cost and complexity associated with other enterprise load testing solutions that restrict usage to one or, at most, several projects or teams.
 
Everything for enterprise load testing - with lower cost & complexity
 
Virtual User "types" enable shared, reusable access to load testing in all major applications environments including: Web, SOA, Java™, .NET, COM, CORBA, Oracle® Forms, Citrix MetaFrame®, databases, client/server, Mainframe/legacy and various ERP/CRM applications
No licenses for "controllers" or individual "protocols" means greater access for a larger number of team members across the organization for test creation and execution
Quick adoption for new users is enabled with ease-of-use features like Visual script recorder and step-by-step workflow wizards

Reduce the hidden cost of load testing servers with technology that supports a higher number of Virtual Users per box than other vendors’ solutions – whether testing at the protocol or GUI level

Performance testing can begin much earlier in development with SilkPerformer’s support of Java and .NET web services testing (with SOA Edition) as well as JUnit/NUnit test import capabilities
TrueLog™ technology speeds issue resolution with visual front-end diagnostics from the end-user perspective
The Eclipse plug-in expands test creation to Eclipse IDE users, expanding the user base and development platform for performance testing
The Server Analysis Module maps server-side resource usage with client-side load test results for ease in identifying and resolving bottlenecks
Open plug-in framework for 3rd party code-level diagnostics tools provide top-down analysis of errors and performance issues
Integration with SilkCentral® Test Manager™and StarTeam® adds greater management and visibility of the performance testing process.
