Because data is collected at the URL level, it not only<br \/>\nidentifies slow web pages, but identifies the particular part of<br \/>\nthe web page that caused the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\nWPT has those hard-to-find advanced features such as ip spoofing,<br \/>\nclient certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases, authentication<br \/>\n(usernames\/passwords), SSL recording and playback, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>\nWPT now makes it easy to do performance testing on sites with<br \/>\ncomplicated session tracking techniques such as URL rewriting.<br \/>\nInstead of clumsy scripts, WPT employs an easy to use Session<br \/>\nTracking Wizard that guides testers and developers through the<br \/>\nconfiguration process.<\/p>\n<p>\nAuthentication support has been improved with the addition of the<br \/>\nUser Identity Wizard with built-in support for web form, NTLM,<br \/>\nbasic, and client certificate authentication. The wizard detects<br \/>\nthe type of authentication and leads the user through the configuration<br \/>\nof separate usernames and passwords for each virtual user.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Playback Tab has been enhanced to show the CPU load and memory<br \/>\nusage for the web server under test. This data is available in the<br \/>\nstatistics and graph views.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe enhanced I\/O Engine improves simulation of browsers. The number<br \/>\nof simultaneous socket connections utilized by virtual users is now<br \/>\nset to the default two connections used in Internet Explorer. The<br \/>\ncomplete low-level HTTP transaction details for each virtual user<br \/>\nmay now be logged to disk for post-test analysis and troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<p>\nCustomers who have a current Premium Maintenance\/Support Contract<br \/>\nwill receive a new license key via email over the coming weeks.<br \/>\nCustomers who purchased up to three months ago will also receive a<br \/>\nfree upgraded license. All others have the option of either purchasing<br \/>\nthe new version or renewing their Maintenance\/Support Contracts.<br \/>\nPrices are listed at http:\/\/webperformance.com\/sales.<\/p>\n<h2>About Web Performance, Inc.<\/h2>\n<p>\nWeb Performance, Inc., a Raleigh, NC company, is the creator of Web<br \/>\nPerformance Trainer&trade; (WPI), web load and stress testing software.<br \/>\nA partial client list includes Airbus, BlueCross BlueShield, Deutche<br \/>\nBank, France Telecom, Goodwill Industries, General Dynamics,<br \/>\nLufthansa, Motorola, Paypal, Polaroid, Toyota, Wells Fargo, Xerox,<br \/>\nand the governments of the United Stages, France, and Canada as<br \/>\nwell as numerous state and local governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raleigh, NC &#8211; This month WPI released the latest<br \/>\nversion of Web Performance Trainer&trade; (WPT) that adds new high-end<br \/>\nfeatures such as performance monitoring of the web server, username<br \/>\nand password wizards, session tracking wizards, byte-level transaction<br \/>\nlogging, and improved browser simulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-load-tester-software"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.webperformance.com\/load-testing-tools\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
