| Whitepapers & How-to Docs |
Please note: whitepapers are typically of an educational nature while how-to docs typically take a “hands-on” approach to a specific topic.
 
The stateless nature of HTTP requires Internet application developers to find other methods of uniquely tracking a visitor through a web-based application. Various methods of managing a visitor’s session have been proposed and used, but the most popular method is through the use of unique session IDs. Most web servers have ways of generating these session IDs automatically for the application developer. There are a few common ways in which these web servers communicate the session ID between the client application (browser) and the web server, including stateless cookies, rewriting the URL and a hidden form field.
In this document you will learn what is session management, how it affects load testing and how to use WebLOAD for load testing sites which use session management techniques.
Development frameworks have been around for years, and have served as a catalyst for a more efficient development process. Next comes the question of how to improve the efficiency of performance testing?
In this document will show how to build a testing framework that improves the overall cost-effectiveness of performance testing with WebLOAD.
This white paper explains how systems behave under load, how to implement load testing for optimal results and how to use goal-oriented testing to verify compliance with load requirements and meet your SLA.
To truly facilitate and accelerate the successful implementation of
high-performing web applications, developers and quality assurance (QA)
departments must establish best practices and methodologies for web testing and
analysis. For example, to assure confidence in application deployment in
shorter project timeframes, testers must take a realistic and an integrated
approach to testing. Testing as early and as often as possible is essential.
Equally important is fostering collaboration among teams of designers,
developers, QA personnel and production support teams throughout the
application development lifecycle. This white paper outlines some of the basic
practices.
How can test engineers derive the most value from test metrics? Today's QA and
test engineers are under substantial pressure to ensure that web sites run as
expected, but in many cases, they lack the time needed for complete testing.
This white paper will discuss how to define a test plan, choose the necessary
tests for an individual application, and how to analyze metrics from these
tests in the context of a web site's use. It will cover analyzing the end-user
experience, web application performance, and traffic monitoring metrics. It
will also highlight the importance of QA professionals and test engineers
working closely with the development team to produce tests that simulate
real-life application behavior.
If you believe that software quality is important, then the intellectual
property (IP) of the testing process is as important as the IP of the software
application. Just as a company will go to great lengths to preserve the IP of
its development or manufacturing team, the testing team requires the same
protection if a company is committed to producing quality software.
