The explosion of the Web and the rush for
businesses to go online has created a huge
need for performance testing.
Critical business applications are no longer
being used only internally or by a
disparate, fragmented market. Business now
demands that systems have the ability to
reach an unprecedented audience of employees
and/or customers accessing them on the Web
or through Internet gateways. This need to
satisfy an expansive audience creates new
challenges regarding the ability of the
architecture to support large numbers of
concurrent users.
Many companies balk at the cost of the
high-end tools and resources, choosing
low-end solutions or take their chances
without performing a multi-user test.
While most firms focus on the cost of the
tool, the cost of automated performance
testing essentially breaks down into three
basic areas:

RTTS' Test Bureau suits quality assurance
teams with the need for tools and hardware
to execute application testing.
Prime candidates for this service are:
•
Project teams with tight budgets who did not
anticipate having to perform tests
•
Non-centralized testing teams who view
performance testing as a "one-time only"
task
•
Integrators who go from site to site
implementing and tuning applications |
As part of a special agreement with IBM
Rational, RTTS will utilize Rational
Performance Tester to provide software
application scalability and performance
testing services to customers.
The Test Bureau offers value options to fit
the needs of your project. You can select
the method of engagement to bring you
significant cost savings over typical
purchase agreements. Choose the plan that
works for you. Either way, you receive
expert-level testing & support and reduced
cost of ownership.
OPTION 1: RTTS provides the consulting
expertise and an implementation plan, along
with leading performance testing software
from IBM Rational. We can also provide
hardware to push the virtual users if the
client testing is to be performed remotely
or bring the software and Performance Test
Engineer to client site.
OPTION 2: RTTS can either run tests from
customer site or from RTTS headquarters
(saving hardware availability, management
costs, hardware costs).
