Existing load testing services are tedious, expensive, time-consuming and resource-intensive, usually requiring the services of expensive consultants to set up, install, configure, program and run, as well as relying on in-house computers to generate the load. As a result, only the biggest companies have been able to afford load testing, and often they have been disappointed with the results.

For example, a leading company in the traditional load testing market recently announced that "35% of all Web capacity bottlenecks can only be uncovered by testing from outside the firewall." This is one reason the new CapCal paradigm is more effective than existing load testing programs, which test from inside the firewall.

That same vendor offers a Web-hosted service to augment its internally-hosted software solution. But why bother to install software or use your own hardware when CapCal offers an accurate, low-cost and easy-to-use solution?

• Sign Up
  

• Use SessionTracker™ to record typical customer activities (user profiles) on your Web site.
  

• Combine these profiles to create sophisticated load tests that duplicate real life conditions.
  

• Run the test and monitor the results in real time on our easy-to-read real time report.
  

• Or schedule your test to run automatically at night and review the results the next morning.
  

• Determine exactly how many simultaneous users doing what mix of activities degrades your site's response to unacceptable levels.
  

• Analyze results after the test using our detailed graphical test reports. You'll be able to identify response times at each point in the test for each page on your site and/or type of customer.
  

• Review the graph that compares your previous test to the current one to see any changes in your site's responsiveness.
  

• Use this information to pinpoint capacity bottlenecks, make the necessary changes and run the test again. Solve your capacity problems with CapCal load testing and avoid the potentially huge financial losses of a real-life crash.

We'll provide the computer power needed to test your site for the number of simultaneous users you want. Capacity Calibration's distributed computing network allows us to test your site for heavy usage loads by actually generating those loads from across the Internet in real time.

Using our computing power and software, you can run occasional massive tests, regular mid-level diagnostic tests, and continuous low-level background tests without having to worry about hardware limitations.

Or, if you've got enough in-house computing muscle, our agents can run on your machines, too.

In addition to second-by-second reports on load capacity and general site performance, you can review the performance of any particular URL, type of customer, or type of product.

You'll be able to compare test results to each other or to the results of previous tests-our sophisticated statistical and analytical tools make it easy to use test results to detect and correct system problems.

And, if you upgrade or change any part of your site, you can test the change in minutes to ensure that you have not introduced any barriers to high-capacity use.

The Capacity Calibration testing system is designed to put you in charge and to make it easy for you to manage and control the testing process. Our system is a breakthrough in terms of accessibility and ease-of-use:

• you won't have to install software

• write test scripts

• buy hardware

• or hire consultants.

But don't let ease-of-use fool you: the results you'll get are just as sophisticated and even more realistic than the solutions provided by other companies, and at a cost that fits your budget.
