46. Reality Load Geographic Perspective Finds Critical Problems Undetectable with other Solutions Only 11 error total out of 60,000+ transactions Page response time stayed under 4 seconds, outside of one brief blip A major hotel chain was planning a major marketing campaign in 3 key regions: Las Vegas, New York & Los Angeles, and they wanted to load test prior to launch. By traditional load testing standards, the test passed. Reality Load Geographic Perspective showed another story thought
47. Problem identified: A large number of measurements were greater than 4 seconds for key geographies (NY). These findings spurred a code tune and content deployment to a CDN to reduce response time variations across geographies. Overall response times was improved by 2+ seconds Reality Load Geographic Perspective Finds Critical Problems Undetectable with other Solutions cont.

49. Response times for users climb Validation for new firewall failed, bottleneck detectedA financial services organization had deployed new hardware, and they wanted to ensure that they would deliver quality Web experiences under load. Problem identified The new firewall was only licensed for 1,000 transactions per second
50. Reality Load Detects External Errors or 3rd-party SLAs Violations The transaction rate increases and then falls off as response times climb The load increases throughout the test Errors are seen, all on a 3rd party object An e-retailer had just selected a new third-party provider, and they wanted to verify overall application performance under load. Problem identified 3rd party hardware was insufficient for overall demands on the application, and based on SLA agreement, 3rd-party provider had to increase hardware and improve performance to get paid.
51. Reality Load Detects External Errors or 3rd-party SLAs Violations (continued) Problem identified Error with an external redirect (configuration error that was handling a simple redirect as 6 steps)

53. No need for large testing infrastructure investments
61. External Load Test Service Opportunities Organizations lack the time, skill and expertise to: Create a solid load testing methodology Script web applications including complex Web 2.0 apps Execute load tests within aggressive QA / and launch schedules Expertly interpret and analyze test result data Conduct root cause analyses based on test results Implement proper changes to ensure a quality performance
62. Partnering Success Story - Challenge: Customer purchased Super Bowl ad and has less than 2 weeks to make switch to new hosting infrastructure and validate that the site can handle the anticipated end-user traffic to be generated by the high-profile ad. Opportunity: Customer lacked time and expertise to set-up, run and analyze a load test in a self-service manner. Also, with time so short, they needed a solution that could dial up load testing in near real-time Partner Managed Test Plan: Develop a test plan to simulate expected volume of site traffic Create a series of load tests to provide run-up tests and longer duration load tests Script user interactions with the C4G.com website Execute a series of tests, tweak performance and re-execute over 2 days Results: Partner ran a series of short and medium duration load tests Identified a load-balancer configuration issue with the hosting vendor prior to site launch After correcting the issue, confirmed that C4G could handle the expected user traffic The site performed well and delivered a quality user experience during and after the Super Bowl Partner billed for 5 days of pro services
