DETROIT, April 22, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gomez, the Web performance division of Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), today announced it will deliver a Webinar for software testing and quality assurance professionals focused on best practices for load testing Web applications from outside of the firewall, where real users are located.
| When: | Tuesday, April 27, 2010, at 1 p.m. ET | ||||||||
| What: | Traditional load testing focused on stress testing internal systems doesn't cut it anymore. | ||||||||
| Today's Web applications are increasingly "composites" that include internal content | |||||||||
| delivered from your datacenter, as well as calls to external services such as ad servers, | |||||||||
| news tickers and web analytics engines. External components can easily make up 50 | |||||||||
| percent or more of the time a user spends waiting for your site to load and third-party | |||||||||
| service performance can vary widely from geography to geography. The only way to | |||||||||
| properly load test today's Web applications is from the "outside in," the same way users | |||||||||
| experience them. | |||||||||
| In addition to discovering a new way to test Web applications from the internet, | |||||||||
| participants will also learn about: | |||||||||
| • performance and load testing from the "outside-in," a true view into end-user | |||||||||
| experiences under various load sizes; | |||||||||
| • leveraging new tools that enable optimal trade-offs between performance and | |||||||||
| infrastructure investments by providing insight into actual performance levels | |||||||||
| and capacity; and | |||||||||
| • using the Reality Load web performance testing solution to accurately measure | |||||||||
| response times and end-user experiences under load. | |||||||||
| Presenters: | Colin Mason, Reality Load Product Manager, Gomez division | ||||||||
| Who Should | |||||||||
| Attend: | Software testing and quality assurance professionals | ||||||||
