Cloud based performance testing

One of the major concerns for the software engineers today is to build high performing applications that can handle high concurrency and transaction volumes simultaneously.

SandStorm now offers cloud based performance testing solutions. This helps in saving the license and hardware costs and offers affordable performance testing. SandStorm Controller and load generators are deployed in cloud and can be used to conduct high concurrency performance testing for Internet, mobile and Intranet applications.

Benefits
SandStorm cloud based testing is a comprehensive and flexible solution to conduct load and stress tests with load generation from the cloud.

Major benefits include:

• Infinite computing power: Simulate high number of concurrent users and transaction volumes by launching as many load generators as required in the cloud
• Affordable: The solution offers affordable load testing by avoiding the software license costs for the tool, OS etc. This also saves the maintenance and acquisition cost of the hardware involved in load testing
• Pay as you go: Avoid the upfront cost of the load testing hardware. Pay for the hardware only for the time when the hardware is actually used.
• Quick and easy to set up: Hardware can be added quickly and easily to simulate high number of users
• Ready to use environment: No need to install and configure the tool. The test environment is provided with the initial set up and ready to be used
• Simulate multiple geographies: Load generators can be used from multiple geographies to simulate actual usage of the application
