WAPT 5.0 to test websites performing under load

NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA:  WAPT 5.0, the new version of  load, stress and performance testing tool for web sites, web servers and applications with web interfaces, has been released, SoftLogica has announced.

In contrast to "800-pound gorilla" load testing tools, WAPT is designed to minimize the learning curve and give the user an ability to create a heavy load from a single regular workstation. Users can create a basic test scenario and get meaningful information about the performance landscape in a matter of minutes. WAPT is able to generate up to 3000 simultaneously acting virtual users for an "average" test scenario using standard hardware configuration (Pentium 4 2GHz, 1GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet).

WAPT creates a test workload which is virtually the same as the load experienced by a web site in the real world. Virtual users in each profile are fully customizable. They can have individual IP address (IP spoofing), user name and password, and persistent cookies, to name a few. Basic and Integrated Windows (NTLM) authentication methods are supported.

Graphs and reports are shown in real-time at different levels of detail, thus helping to manage the testing process. There is no need to wait for the completion of the test to get results. If the problem has been already identified, the test can be stopped, the problem fixed and the test restarted to check for performance changes.

The command line interface allows users to integrate WAPT into the existing development environment. Standard XML files are used to store test scenarios and can be modified by third party software.

About version 5.0:

Tree-type log viewer: Comprehensive log viewer provides detailed representation of all requests, responses and errors that occur during the test run. This information is structured with the help of a tree view with several levels of details: profile, user, session and iteration. Using the tree view, users can find any information easily without need to search through megabytes of log files. Users can navigate to any particular request or browse errors one by one.

Automatic parameterization of requests: WAPT can be configured to automatically find dynamic values in responses during recording. It creates corresponding variables and uses them when recording subsequent requests. This feature significantly simplifies the design of tests for pages with dynamic content.

Availability:

WAPT is designed for Microsoft Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.

The 30-day trial version with full set of features limited to 20 concurrent virtual users can be downloaded at http://www.loadtestingtool.com/wapt.exe.  Free technical support is provided by e-mail and by phone (+7.383.3356692).
