eValid™ -- The Web Quality Suite Browser-Based Client-Side Functional Testing and Validation Page Timing/Tuning Transaction Monitoring. WebSite Spidering & Analysis and Realistic Server Loading. © Copyright 2010 by Software Research, Inc.

Introduction
This page introduces and provides access to the AJAX Performance/Load Testing webinar which was presented originally on 08 December 2010.

The movie includes ~40 minutes of technical presentation followed by ~15 minutes of answers to questions asked from the audience.

Main Points Of Webinar Presentation

• eValid is an IE close browser that is designed for use by non-technically trained staff, but which has powerful commands to support advanced scripting.

• When testing an AJAX application the key issue is maintaining synchronization, which eValid achieves by either direct "from life recording" or with advanced DOM synchronization commands.

• Once test scripts are known to be self synchronizing, they can be lifted into a server loading scenario.

• eValid loading is accomplished by running multiple instances of the eValid browser, called Browser Users (BUs).

• A typical single-user partition can run 100+ BUs. An example showing 100 BUs is given.

• To leverage to 1,000 BUs one can use a partitioned machine, with 100 BUs per partition.

• Case studies of 1,000's of BUs illustrate how easy it is to create signifcant realistic load.
