Only need to run one or two load testing sessions a year? One cost-effective way to do occasional load testing is to rent licenses by the week or month. You can use the free demo to develop test cases, and then order the temporary license when you’re ready to start testing. Even customers who already own licenses find it convenient to rent Load Tester licenses with a larger number of virtual users to do testing of the installed software. The typical scenario is using a permanent license to test against the development or test system, and then rent a much larger license to test against the production system which typically is much more powerful, generating load from the cloud against a data center.
With larger numbers of concurrent users comes the added problem of finding bottlenecks among multiple servers, which is where Advanced Server Analysis comes in. Although it is quite useful to find problems with a single server, if you’re using two or more servers at a time its server summary checklist is a great way for spotting trouble spots at a glance, which is why we’ve made it even easier to purchase enough licenses for larger, multi-server installations. Although Server Monitoring is sold on a per-server basis, the new online store now has steep discounts for leasing enough licenses to cover every server in your cluster.
