UpBeat Load2Test – Database Load Testing based on Captured Production Traffic

Integrated, Extensible Load Testing Framework for Multi-tiered Database Applications

Load2Test – Database Performance/load/stress/high availability testing tool

Load2Test uses captured real database production workload for load testing playback, simulating thousands of users for top download testing or database back-end load testing. Load2Test is available in the Amazon EC2, RackSpace or PlatformLabs cloud environments.

Integrated performance management and root cause analysis system automatically collects performance metrics across load test infrastructure and applies cross-component correlation to identify performance degradations and bottlenecks. In addition to database load testing, Load2Test provides powerful baseline load testing functionality, such as web site load testing, Citrix load testing, and UI or GUI load testing. Extensible API for load testing agents enables easy support for load testing of custom protocols.

Load2Test is an integrated, extensible database testing framework for performance validation and root cause analysis in development, test and staging environments. Load2Test provides advanced support for load test development, execution, and concurrent root cause analysis. It can be applied to custom, composite, and packaged applications. Customizable reporting and open analytics make short work of DB test results documentation and sharing. Its unique approach to scalability validation reduces load test development time by 80%, helps development teams identify exact root causes of load test bottlenecks, and accommodates wide ranges of applications, load levels, and environments.

Load Test Development

Network protocol parsers and analyzers

Network protocol parsers and analyzers let Load2Test’s library of network protocol parsers and analyzers do the work so you don’t have to. Intelligent parsing of network traffic and database activity reduces test script creation efforts by as much as 80%.

Load2Test currently supports parsing of below database and non-database protocols:

Oracle, SQL Server, SQL Server ASzure, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle Forms and HTTP

Non-proprietary scripting languages

Author and extend load test scripts using non-proprietary languages such as Java, Groovy, Ruby, and Python.

No user interface dependencies

Avoid tedious test maintenance caused by UI changes because Load2Test definitions have
no dependencies on user interface design.

Load Test Execution

Negligible footprint

Minimal overhead during execution makes it safe to apply in any environment.

100% pure Java

Load test execution runs on any platform that supports JVM (J2SE 1.5+) because the execution components are 100% pure Java.

Compatible with custom, composite and packaged applications

Apply to a wide range of application architectures, including web applications, SOAP-based or RESTful web services, and desktop applications. Most architectures can be accommodated because the runtime framework operates at the infrastructural component level.

Concurrent collection of performance data

Load Test Root Cause Analysis

Transparent transfer of load test results

Spend zero time importing performance statistics because no import is necessary; RCA analysis and load test execution are fully integrated.

Advanced, cross-tier root cause analysis

Identify performance limiters down to the level of individual infrastructure components using data and results generated by the load test. Visualize and correlate performance behavior across application tiers.

Automatic Bad SQL Identification

Automatic ranking of SQL by performance costs identifies poorly performing SQL code quickly and precisely.

Load Test Reporting and Analytics

Load Performance Reporting

Get immediate feedback on load performance through summary reports and charts of key performance statistics.

Scalability Index Reporting

Automatic calculation, reporting and charting of Enteros’ scalability index for the system under test (SUT).

Service Level Agreement (SLA) Compliance Reporting

Automatic calculation, reporting and charting of SLA compliance for the system under test (SUT).

Executive-level Summary Report

Automatically generate summary test reports that highlight key findings in a concise format for busy CIOs and CTOs.

The tools for database testing will allow minimizing risks while integrating into commercial or other systems. Using data testing tools you can check the correctness and safety in advance.
