SilkPerformer

Software application performance testing

SilkPerformer® is a cost-effective, enterprise-class performance testing solution for optimizing the performance of business applications. SilkPerformer enables performance tests that accurately simulate peak demand loads and isolate performance bottlenecks to be created rapidly.

An integrated performance testing solution, SilkPerformer makes it possible to create powerful, realistic load tests for thousands of users running business scenarios across a broad range of enterprise application environments including the latest web 2.0 technologies. Unlike point product load testing solutions, SilkPerformer also includes SilkPerformer Diagnostics to help identify and resolve performance and scalability bottlenecks and SilkPerformer Cloudburst, a cloud based offering for simulating massive peak loads.

SilkPerformer is used by organizations that want to ensure their applications will be able to perform under peak loads.  It simulates user load on business applications to validate performance.  If an application fails to perform, SilkPerformer provides visibility and insight into performance behavior and immediately diagnoses the root causes of the problem.

Benefits:

  • Industry leading web 2.0 support: SilkPerformer is the world leader in terms of ensuring the performance of all major Web 2.0 environments like Adobe's Flash/Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, and HTML/AJAX
  • Hybrid load testing model: Gives SilkPerformer the flexibility to be used on premise or in the cloud, it is the only product that enables load testing of internal or external applications from one familiar load testing solution
  • Integrated root cause diagnosis capabilities find performance and scalability problems after just one load test accelerating problem resolution and increasing the throughput of test centers.
  • Test peak demand loads: SilkPerformer leads in the ability to simulate large number of users whether it is used from on premise or when leveraging the cloud
  • Virtual user price protection: The cloud-based load generation means that users pay for what is used whether the application scales to meet peak loads or fails to scale.
