Watch the 7 Minute Walk-Through Video that guides you through the Integration described in this blog post. Load Testing has traditionally been done In-House with load-testing tools using machines in your test center to generate HTTP traffic against the application needing to be tested for high volume transactions. With agile development practices, shorter release cycles and [...]
Watch the 6 Minute Walk-Through Video that guides you through the Integration described in this blog post. We’ve learned from recent studies that performance has a direct impact on end-user behavior and revenue. Load Testing is therefore critical to ensure that your application can withstand peak load during online rush hours. Continuous Monitoring of the [...]
The use of transactions is a cornerstone when building database applications. However in our daily work, we often do not really care much about them. In many cases they are handled implicitly for us by the (J EE) container or application framework – such as Spring – we are using. We rely on these frameworks [...]
