Web Performance Load Tester
Web Performance Load Tester is a suite of testing tools for Web servers, including load testing, Web page performance analysis, and operating system tuning. The statistical analysis in the Load Testing Module takes your site's performance criteria, and determines the number of users your Web site can handle. Because data is collected at the URL level, it not only identifies slow Web pages, but identifies the particular part of the Web page that caused the problem. It includes hard-to-find features such as IP spoofing, client certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases, authentication, SSL recording and playback, automated analysis, AJAX support, SOAP support, and more.

Changes: A Web bandwidth wizard was added to help you determine if your bottleneck is in the network. The expanded Amazon EC2 cloud feature allows you to generate load from more locations around the globe. Understanding the test results is now easier using the all-new executive summary, and getting help from tech. The integrated desktop sharing feature makes support easier.

Changes: The big news in this release is the ability to automatically generate load from the Amazon EC2 cloud. Just push a button and there can be hundreds of computers generating massive amounts of load against your Web site. This saves a huge amount of time over configuring competing commercial or open source competitors. The other major feature is support for IE8 and Firefox 3.5. Record your test case with any modern browser and the software automatically configures the test case to replay with the correct socket behavior.

Changes: This is a major release. One of the application’s most appealing new features is its use of visual displays and video demonstrations that let users with zero programming experience create test cases, run load tests, and analyze the results. The new Click-to-Configure feature lets users configure dynamic text entry fields simply by importing a list of established values. New Performance Goal Analysis instantly pinpoints the exact system location causing performance problems, while its User Capacity Analysis lets users know exactly how many visitors a site can handle.

Changes: This release fixes two bugs that only affected a small number of users, one where the Advanced Statement Management logic took hours to run (WPA-1284), and another where one particular site was causing the reports to not be generated (WPL-925). If you're using the program and aren't having either of these problems, it's recommended that you skip this update for now.

Changes: The TCP connection retransmits/second and disk metrics should now have floating point accuracy. The VU now terminates when no dataset rows are available.
