Web Performance Trainer&trade; 2.2 generates this load capacity<br \/>\nby distributing the task of simulating users among any number of<br \/>\ncomputers,&quot; says Web Performance Product Manager Michael Czeiszperger.<br \/>\n&quot;We go beyond the competition in terms of ease of use in simulating<br \/>\nlarge numbers of users by using load balancing technology.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe task of configuring a computer to simulate users is automated, so<br \/>\nthere is not a need to spend time tuning and configuring client-generating<br \/>\nengines.  Although load testing can be done on a finished, live site,<br \/>\nthe biggest cost savings is achieved by load testing Web pages during<br \/>\ndevelopment. Web Performance Trainer&trade; is designed to help development<br \/>\nteams test the performance of Web-based applications from inception<br \/>\nthrough field roll out without spending weeks or months writing scripts.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;We are thrilled about the usability of this software,&quot; said Czeiszperger.<br \/>\n&quot;A company can measure incremental performance changes in less than<br \/>\nan hour, making it easy to repeat the test during every stage of<br \/>\ndevelopment.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe software not only supports all browsers, web servers, and application<br \/>\nservers, but also runs on most platforms. Release 2.2 builds on its<br \/>\nhistory of complete support for Linux, Solaris and Windows NT\/2000.<br \/>\nCzeiszperger says, &quot;When we talk about Unix support, we mean all parts<br \/>\nof our program runs on Unix, not just the load generators.&quot;<\/p>\n<h3>Availability and Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>\nWeb Performance Trainer&trade; 2.2 shipped on May 23, 2001.
