Web Performance, Inc. Releases Web Performance Trainer™ 2.6
Raleigh, NC –
On October 21, 2003 WPI will release the latest version of Web Performance Trainer™ that adds new high-end features such as IP spoofing, client certificates, VPN support, and scheduled playback, along
with a host of other enhancements.
When real users access a web site the requests come from individual
computers, each with a unique IP address. This information is often
used by hardware load balancers and routers, as well as web server
software. The virtual users generated by Web Performance Trainer&trade
2.6 can have unique IP addresses even if there is only a single
network card in your test computer.
Client certificates and Virtual Private Networks (VPN) are popular
ways to control access to corporate networks. With Web Performance
Trainer&trade 2.6 each virtual user can be assigned a unique client
certificate, and can be used either by itself or in conjunction
with usernames, passwords, or any other information. Both recording
and playback can now take place over a VPN as well.
Other features in the 2.6 release include global export of test
data to a spreadsheet, choice of integrated, online, or printed
help, and the ability to start playback from the commandline which
can be used to schedule playback using your operating systems
build-in scheduling facility.
